Change from epicenter to hypocenter

[edit]

I've made a slight change in wording to the piece. The first use of the term epicenter is correct because it describes the position of the earthquake on the surface. The second use of the term is incorrect because the depth of the earthquake is described by the term hypocenter. Ref. http://earthquake.usgs.gov/learning/glossary.php?term=hypocenter.
