How scientists determined the size of the December 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake?
The scientists determined the size of the earthquake by combining forces when the tsunami triggered them>
What do scientists use to locate an earthquake?
tertiary
What is another name for earthquake scientists?
Seismologist
Scientists use -------waves to find an earthquake epicenter?
Scientists use seismic waves to find an earthquake epicenter. By analyzing the arrival times of primary (P) and secondary (S) seismic waves at different seismic stations, scientists can triangulate the epicenter of the earthquake.
How can scientists tell where the earthquake happend?
they do it by using a seismograph
Why do scientists need three seismographs?
It takes three seismographs to locate an earthquake. Scientists use a method called triangulation to determine exactly where the earthquake occurred. If a circle is drawn on a map around three different seismographs where the radius of each is the distance from that station to the earthquake, the intersection of those three circles is the epicenter.
How do scientists monitor the shaking caused by an earthquake?
a ricter scale
How do scientists espress the magnitude of an earthquake?
They use the Richter Scale.
Has there been an earthquake in the Rocky Mountains?
No there has not "yet" been an earthquake in the Rocky Mountains. Although scientists believe that there will be an upcoming earthquake near the Rocky Mountains.
5 How do scientists know the exact spot where an earthquake begins?
Scientists use instruments called seismometers to detect and record seismic waves emitted by earthquakes. By analyzing the timing and intensity of these waves at different monitoring stations, scientists can triangulate the epicenter of the earthquake and determine its exact location.
how do scientists determine earthquake location and how do they use this information?
Scientists use devices called Seismographs to determine the epicenter of an earthquake. If 3 or more seismographs detect an earthquake, seismic wave activity can be measured and quantified and then cross-referenced with other data (the primary and secondary seismic waves) to determine the earthquake's location.
What waves do scientists use to find an earthquake's epicenter?
seismic waves
