Question

Distance between the Epicenter of earthquake and capital of Gujarat Convert this distance in to meter , millimeter, kilometer.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Multiple Seismic Stations

To figure out just where that earthquake happened, you need recordings from seismic stations in other places. While earthquake locations are normally done with a computer that can quickly determine the paths of seismic waves through the Earth to many seismic stations, you can get a good estimate of an earthquake location using a map, a ruler, a pencil, and a compass for drawing circles on the map.

Here are examples of a seismograms from different places in North America that recorded the same earthquake. Distances from the stations to the earthquake are estimated from the difference between P and S wave arrival times:

Illustrative example seismograms from IRIS.

Answer 2

The epicentre of the earthquake was about 160 miles west of Ahmedabad, the capital of Gurajat State.

160 miles =

257495.04 meters,

257495040 millimeters &

257.44 kilometers.

(To find approx. number you may find the value of 1 mile is equal to how many m/mm/km and do the multiplication)
