What else can I help you with?
How can an earthquake's epicenter be located without a seismograph?
the epicentre is just above the focus of an eq The focus is where the greatest destruction occurs due to the shockwaves being most powerful here. Therefore when you know where the focus is, above it (i.e. the ground) is the epicentre HOPE THAT HELPS by: writingguitar =]
Can scientist calculate the distance from the seismograph station to the focus?
Yes
What is the line called where the seismograph traces movement of the waves in the line?
Focus
Tells the amount of energy release at the focus of a quake?
It is use to measure tremon or vibration on the earth surface?
Which does not affect the amount of destruction caused by earthquake vibration?
the weather during the day of the earthquake
What types of information can a sceintist get by studying seismographs?
Scientists can use seismograph data to locate the focus of an earthquake
What is the difference between seismograph and epicenter?
i might be a 6th grader but i can still awnser you question we had talk about this not to long ago and what i can remember is that a seismograph is an interment that measures and records seismic waves and the epic center a point on earth's surface right above the focus of an earthquake i hope this helped! :3
What do scientists use to calculate the distance from the seismograph station to the focus?
The diffrence in arrival times of P and S waves.
Why three seismograph stations are needed to determine the location of an epicenter?
Three seismograph stations are needed to determine the location of an epicenter because each seismograph can determine distance to the epicenter but not direction. The point where the three circles intersect is the epicenter of the earthquake. +++ Focus - not epicentre, which is the point of maximum movement on the surface above the slip itself.
What does the center of each earthquake circle represent?
It represent the seismic wave focus centerThe center of each circle is a seismograph's location.
Does a seismograph measure tsunami?
No. The Richter scale is a measure of the energy released at the focus of the earthquake - the point underground where it occurred. A Tsunami is an ocean wave generally caused by a submarine landslide or earthquake. The landslide or earthquake may have a Richter number associated with it, but the landslide itself need not have been caused by an earthquake. For example a slumping at the terminus of an undersea sediment delta. The Tsunami is the movement of the water caused by the volume of the submarine slump. Hence the common observation of the sea level going down, followed some time later by the sea in-rushing again.
What are four factors that affects the amount of destruction caused by earthquake vibrations?
Four factors that affect the amount of destruction caused by earthquake vibrations include the earthquake's magnitude, which determines the energy released; the depth of the earthquake's focus, as shallower quakes tend to cause more surface damage; the distance from populated areas, where closer proximity results in greater destruction; and the local geological conditions, such as soil type and building structures, which can amplify vibrations and influence the level of damage.
