The three stations' rings that showed the distance from the epicenter and in that area would be where the epicenter is.
determining the distance from the earthquake by three recording stations.
The epicenter can be determined by measuring the time difference between the arrival of P and S waves, and then calculating the distance of the epicenter from each of the 3 stations. Once you have estimated the distance for each station you then draw a circle around each one. The place where the circles meet or intersect, is the epicenter.
P-waves (Primary) and S-waves (Secondary). Using the difference in time between the arrival of P- and S-waves, you can then determine the distance from the epicenter. Once you've determined the distance from the epicenter of three different stations, you'll be able to triangulate the epicenter (the point where all three circles cross).
The more is the time taken and the distance recorded by the seismograph, the more is the effect of an earthquake:)
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.

The difference in arrival times of P and S waves.
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.

No, the greatest intensity of an earthquake is not always found at the epicenter. The intensity of an earthquake can vary at different locations depending on the distance from the epicenter, the depth of the earthquake, and the local geological conditions. In some cases, the intensity may be greater at locations further away from the epicenter due to the way seismic waves propagate.
