Question

you were asked to locate the epicenter of a recent earthquake. which correct sequence of events should you follow?

i. determine the difference in the arrival time s and p waves recorded from each of the seismological stations.
ii. use the triangulation method to locate the center
iii. obaain data from three different seismological stations
iv. determine the distance of the epicenter from the station

a. i,iii,ii,iv
b. iii, i, iv, ii
c. iii, iv, i, ii
d. iv, ii,i,iii​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

C.i,iv,i,ii

Answer 2

b.iii,i,iv,ii are the correct sequence of event.

Explanation:

• To locate the epicenter of a recent earthquake, we need the recording from seismic stations in other places.

• That's while first, we have to obtain data from three different seismological stations.

• Then determine the difference in the arrival time first s and first p waves.

• Next, determine the distance of the epicenter from the station.

• Still, we don't know where the earthquake occurred. Therefore use the triangulation method to locate the center.

• These are the correct sequence of these events.
