Hello :) how about posting a specific question so that any helper can just come by and help? you will get much faster help that way ^_^ if... on the other hand, you are simply looking for someone to cheat off of, please know that we have moderators on here from FLVS that might catch you :/

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

umm which grade

OpenStudy (anonymous):

7th

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

no then

OpenStudy (anonymous):

theses are the questions! Describe, in your own words, how you found the epicenter of the earthquake. What would happen if we did not have three areas to compare? What if we only had one? What two types of waves are used to determine the epicenter of eartquakes? Which of the two types of waves arrives first? Why is it important to know the epicenter of an earthquake?

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

well gogle it wikipedia will sure tell

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

. P-wave and S-wave have

3.

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

By measuring the time difference on any seismograph as well as the distance on a travel-time graph at which the P-wave and S-wave have the same separation, geologists can calculate the distance to the earthquake's epicenter

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

Once epicentral distances have been calculated from at least three seismographic measuring stations, it is a simple matter to find out where the epicenter was located using trilateration.

@AlexandervonHumboldt2 Do not give out direct answers. And if you are going to give direct answers, at least cite your source.

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

ha uh in science it is impossible not to give them

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

I believe that the epicenter is where the seismic waves brake the surface of the earth.The epicenter is usually the place that the most damage occurs and then it slowly dies out as it travels outwards. I am sure this information could be used in some way to determine the focus, what type of seismic wave has occurred, or used in further research of earthquakes, seismic waves, prediction and that sort of stuff. Sorry I'm not an expert, but that might give you some ideas. @geny55

ok thx :)

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

wave P wave arrives first.

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

i guees i answeredall questions

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

Plagiarizing

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):
