Starting from the beginning of an earthquake, number the steps of the triangulation process in the correct order to find the epicenter.

Question

Subtract the time of P wave arrival from S wave arrival.

Find the point where all 3 circles intersect, and you've found the earthquake's epicenter.

Draw circles representing the distances from at least three seismograph stations to the epicenter on a map.

See what the time difference is equal to in distance on a seismic wave chart.

Answer 1

Here's the correct order of the triangulation process to find the epicenter of an earthquake:

Step 1: Subtract the time of P wave arrival from S wave arrival.

Step 2: See what the time difference is equal to in distance on a seismic wave chart.

Step 3: Draw circles representing the distances from at least three seismograph stations to the epicenter on a map.

Step 4: Find the point where all 3 circles intersect, and you've found the earthquake's epicenter.
