In geology or seismology, the point on the earth's surface diametrically opposite to an earthquake's epicenter.
From anti- + epicenter (from Greek epi-, upon, + kentron, center). This geological term describes a geometrically opposite location.
The antiepicenter of an earthquake might seem like a randomly chosen spot, but seismologists study them because seismic waves travel through the Earth in complex patterns, and the antiepicenter can help reveal the planet's internal structure.
