Question

For Learning Task 1, answer the following questions:

Q1. Where is the epicenter of this hypothetical earthquake?

Q2. Why do we use circle in triangulation method?

Q3. What difficulty will you encounter if you only have data from two recording
stations?

Answer 1

Is no. Q.1

Q.2 Answer: Scientists use triangulation to find the epicenter of an earthquake. ... To determine the direction each wave traveled, scientists draw circles around the seismograph locations. The radius of each circle equals the known distance to the epicenter.

Q.3Answer: The difficulty that I will encounter if I only have data from two recording stations is that I may be confused about finding the exact epicenter and I will not be able to triangulate the epicenter. Using data from at least three stations require from a triangulation method gives exact location of an epicenter.
