the energy of an earthquake, called seismic waves,originates from a point called the ? epicenter
Which waves created by earthquakes are the strongest at the epicenter?
s waves
How can be determined the earthquake epicenter from seismic waves?
The simplified answer is that it works much in the same way you would determine the source of a sound (which is also in waves). Multiple measurements of the intensity are taken from different locations are used to triangulate an earthquake.
What are the studies of earthquakes and seismic waves?
Seismology

What part of earth does not receive seismic waves?
The epicenter does not recive seismic waves.
When is the seismic waves the strongest?
Is it the epicenter
How do the data from the movement of seismic waves help geologist determine the earthquakes risk an area?
If an area has a strong amount of seismic waves along, or around, you can predict if an area is active for earthquakes
What are seismic waves associated with?
Seismic waves are associated with earthquakes.
How do geologists locate the epicenter?
Seismic Waves
What Movement of the faults produces which kind of energy waves?
the waves caused by an earthquake are called seismic waves
What waves do scientists use to find an earthquake's epicenter?
seismic waves
Do scientists follow seismic waves to locate the epicenter?
No.
What are the waves that you normally have in earthquakes?
