How do they use seismometers to locate the origin of the earthquake?
You can think of this in the same way that satellites work to find your location for the GPS in your car. An earthquake happens and it is picked up on 3+ seismometers. These seismometers measure the waves that the earthquake produced and the velocity at which they are traveling and you look at where all the seismometer calculations run together. You have the epicenter of your earthquake.
How do humans affect earthquakes?
No. Humans have zero input to the location or serverity of earthquakes.
Location of frequent earthquakes at the subduction zone?
Ocean Trench
Explain how the boundaries of tectonic plates can be inferred from the location of earthquakes and volcanoes?
no
Is Philippines prone to typhoons and earthquakes?
Yes, the Philippines' location on the Pacific Ring of Fire and its tropical climate makes it prone to earthquakes and typhoons.
What types of information scientist get by studying seismograms?
the location and strength of the earthquake
If scientist cant predict when earthquakes will happen why do they still studt these natural events?
They can't predict the time or the location of earthquakes. They can provide probable data on expected times and location an earthquake with better assurance than in the past but not exact times or dates.

What types of information can a scientist get by studying seismogram?
The location and movement of earthquake epicenters and faults. The internal structure and composition of the Earth The structure and layering of crustal rocks. The likely locations of mineral and hydrocarbon deposits. Information as to where it is wise and unwise to build structures. Where Tsunami are likely to happen Information as to when volcanoes may erupt. Where earthquake zones are the frequency of large earthquakes (if the seismic record is long enough)
What makes the new Madrid earthquakes different than most other major earthquakes?
Most earthquakes occur along plate boundaries, which was not true of the New Madrid earthquakes. It was an unusual earthquake because of its location, duration and intensity for that location.
What has the author Barry R Lienert written?
Barry R. Lienert has written: 'Evaluation of seismometer arrays for earthquake location' -- subject(s): Computer programs, Seismic event location, Seismometers
What information could you get about an earthquakes location from only two seismic stations?
magnitude and distance betwean the stations, but not right left deviation, assuming the ground is the same.
How many earthquakes happen here?
That depends on the location of "here"
Why do you think earthquakes mostly appears in Haiti?
Because of its location
Where is the location where earthquakes be likely to occur?
Along fault lines.
