Select all of the answers that apply. triangulation is a process to locate an earthquake. which statements are true regarding this process? you must know the difference in the times that s waves and p waves arrive at a seismograph station to determine the distance to the epicenter. only one seismograph is needed to locate an earthquake. you should draw a line from the center of the seismograph station to the epicenter to show its location. three seismograph distances must be mapped with circles and the point where they intersect is the epicenter.

Describe how scientists can locate the epicenter of an earthquake. the answer is: seismologist use the seismic waves produced by an earthquake to locate the epicenter. because p waves travel through the earth at different speeds than s waves, seismologist can determine the distance from their station that an earthquake has occurred. once that is determined, a circle is drawn around the seismograph on a map at that distance. this information is combined with information from two other locations. the epicenter of the earthquake is located where all three circles meet.

Determine the determine the distance from each of the four seismograph stations to the ploeter o by proportion, using the lag time value to 100 miles that you obtained m ortem recording station calculated distance (milesy los angeles: san francisco albuquerque: salt lake city 4. on the base map of the western united states (figure 4). draw circles or arcs with a compass, locating the needle po of the four stations, with each radius corresponding to the calculated distance (use the graphic scale on the map toe measurement). e where is the epicenter located? j new me los mgeles. between what cities shown on the map? between los angeles and which city is the earthquake epicenter closes to, and how far? it is closest to 5. considering the cause of earthquakes discussed during lecture, what major structural feature is probably related to this earthquake? the san andreas fault is related to this earthquake. 6. the time at which the p-wave arrived at each of the four stations is shown on the seismograph record (problem 1). did the earthquake actually occur? show how you obtained your answer.
