What is the origin of an earthquake called in CA? Well, the origin of the earthquake is called the focus, and the point on the ground directly above the focus is called the epicenter. In CA, earthquakes generally originate frâ¦om the San Andreas Fault. Susie Harrell.
Earthquakes are caused mostly by rupture of geological faults, but also by other events such as volcanic activity, landslides, mine blasts, and nuclear tests. An earthquakeâs point of initial rupture is called its focus or hypocenter. The epicenter is the point at ground level directly above the hypocenter.arthquakes often occur in volcanic regions and are caused there, both by tectonic faults and the movement of magma in volcanoes. Such earthquakes can serve as an early warning of volcanic eruptions, as during the Mount St. Helens eruption of 1980.
