I'm not sure what you mean, the whole spell is an AoE effecting all the ground within 10 feet of you, for both the creatures in there that must roll a save or take damage and become prone, and the ground that is made difficult terrain if it is loose earth and stone.
that's exactly what I was unsure about, thank you! I didn't know if it was centered on you, or if it was like fireball.
I was reading some spells from Xanathar's Guide to Everything when I spotted Earth Tremor, and it has a strange combination of range and description.
RAW:
Range: 10 feet
Description: You cause a tremor in the ground within range. Each creature other than you in that area must make a Dexterity saving throw. [...]
It seems that previously the range and description was a little bit different according to this tweet and if you read this edition of the Elemental Evil Player's Companion:
Range: Self (10-foot radius)
Description: You cause a tremor in the ground in a 10-foot radius. Each creature other than you in that area must make a Dexterity saving throw [...]
Assuming then it's not a radius, even RAW, I see two interpretations if you're playing on a grid:
You choose a point of origin and then the tremor is a 10 x 10 ft square (2x2 squares on a grid)
Your character is the point of origin and then the tremor is a 25 x 25 ft square (5x5 squares on a grid). This could be sustained by the previous linked tweet:
How does Earth Tremor work? is the aoe 10 feet as well?

If we draw the second interpretation, we'd have something like this where the caster is the green circle and the brown squares are the area of effect:
I need your opinion guys one more time!
