What is the fewest number of seismic stations needed to locate an earthquakes epicenter?
2
What can you figure out about an earthquake from only one seismic station?
the distance to the epicenter
How many stations must compare results to determine the epicenter?
A minimum of three seismic stations must compare results to locate an earthquakes epicenter.
How is the distance between a seismic station and the earthquake epicenter is determined?
The distance between a seismic station and the earthquake epicenter is determined from the S-P interval, which is the time difference between the time of arrival of the first P wave and the first S wave.
What is the minimum number of seismic stations that is needed to determine the location of an earthquakes epicenter?
I believe that minimum number would be three.

A travel-time graph can be used to find the?
The distance of an earthquake epicenter from a seismic station. Using the Three point method, the distance from 3 seismic stations are used to locate the epicenter by triangulation.

How do you figure out the distance of an epicenter?
The distance of an epicenter from a seismograph station can determined by the time it takes for the seismic waves to reach each station. You need at least 3 seismic stations to record the event to determine this. The time taken for each seismic station to resisted the event will be different as they are different distances from the epicenter. The distance to the epicenter can then be calculated for each station and a epicenter can be determined by a triangulation from all stations that have registered the event.
