Many fault lines are obvious at the surface. how can the epicenter of an earthquake be located miles away from the fault line?

It seems that you have missed the necessary options in order for us to answer this question, so I had to look for it. Anyway, here is the answer. Many fault lines are obvious at the surface, but how can the epicenter of an earthquake be located miles away from the fault line is based on the reason that the epicenter is the place of greatest damage, and it can be miles from the site of the earthquake. Hope this helps.

The answer is 1-plate movement along fault lines

Ineed you to put up a picture of the map so i can you as much as possible.
