A = πr^2
A = π(64.5 miles)^2
A = 13,069.80 miles^2

How do geologist locate the epicenter of earthquakes?
Geologists use circles to find the epicenter of an earthquake.
Where volcanoes and earthquakes occur?
Anywhere where the earths plates meet. Earthquakes occur only were there is an epicenter. Were ever the epicenter is the earthquake will happen.
Where are earthquakes mosty likely to originate?
where the fault is at or the epicenter which is not where the earthquake starts it is the focus where the earthquake starts
Where are main spots of earthquakes?
The main spot, or epicenter is the center of the earthquake.
Are earthquakes cause more damage near the epicenter?
Earthquake damage tends to be most intense at the epicenter, although sometimes an earthquake behaves unexpectedly and the damage is heaviest elsewhere.
Why would the shadow zone of an earthquake in japan be different from the shadow zone of an earthquake in California?
depends on the focus and epicenter depends on the focus and epicenter
What are the names of the earthquakes that happen in California?
The names come where the epicenter is located.
What is the minimum number of seismic stations needed to determine the location of an earthquakes epicenter?
The minimum number of seismic stations needed to determine the location of an earthquake's epicenter is THREE.
What is minimum number of seismic stations needed to determine the location of an earthquakes epicenter?
The minimum number of seismic stations needed to determine the location of an earthquake's epicenter is THREE.
What is the approximate latitude and longitude of the epicenter?
We typically use the word "epicenter" when discussing earthquakes, so the lat/long of the epicenter would depend on the earthquake under discussion. You can see each of the recent earthquakes on the US Geological Survey's web page at the link below.
Where earthquake more stronger in epicenter or in the edge of the earthquake?
At epicenter.
What is the Epicurean of an earthquakes?
The word you are looking for is epicenter, not epicurean. The epicenter is not the actual center because that is somewhere underground, but it is the closest place on the surface, to the actual earthquake underground. Epicurean means highly luxurious, and has nothing to do with earthquakes which are never luxurious.
