Scientists have sensors that detect vibrations. When two vibrate from the same cause, they hear it at different times, and the difference can be used to triangulate on the epicenter. They can predict it too a little.

How do you predict an earthquake's location?
An oral or written account of previous earthquake activity and location in, near or on the meeting of tectonic or lithospheric plates may serve to predict the location of a future earthquake.
What events do seismograms record?
Seismograms record a strong earthquake. They also record and calculate the location and magnitude of an EQ. They show how the ground moves with the passage of time.
Where was the location of the earthquake?
Which earthquake, there have only been about a few thousand recorded.
What other events do seismograms record?
Seismograms record a strong earthquake. They also record and calculate the location and magnitude of an EQ. They show how the ground moves with the passage of time.
The amount of shaking produced by an earthquake at a given location is called the?
The amount of shaking produced by an earthquake at a given location is called the intensity.
Where earthquake geographic location?
the epicenter of the earthquake is where the earthquake hit. technically, you need three epicenters the find where the earthquake actually hit, though. Edit: The epicenter is the location on the surface traced to by seismographs for people to get an idea of where the earthquake happened. The hypocenter is where the earthquake actually happened below the surface.
Name and distribution of earthquake with regard to location and depth of focus?
The distribution of earthquake with regard to the location and depth of focus can be best explained with tectonics.
How does math relate to an earthquake?
they nead to calculate the frequesy of earthquake and see how much damage and how big
The magnitude of an earthquake is a function of its location?
false
Does the word focus mean the location of an earthquake?
The word focus (or hypocentre) is used to describe the location within the Earth where an earthquake occurs. The point directly above this on the Earth's surface is known as the earthquake's epicentre.
What is the foreshock of an earthquake?
NOUN:: A minor tremor of the earth that precedes a larger earthquake originating at approximately the same location. NOUN:: A minor tremor of the earth that precedes a larger earthquake originating at approximately the same location.
What type of wave can be used to determine the location of an earthquake focus?
Seismic waves can be used to determine the location of an earthquake focus. These waves are triggered by tectonic plates.
