i might be a 6th grader but i can still awnser you question we had talk about this not to long ago and what i can remember is that a seismograph is an interment that measures and records seismic waves and the epic center a point on earth's surface right above the focus of an earthquake i hope this helped! :3

How could u tell were the epicenter is located with 2 seismograph readings?
The difference between the two seismograph readings could tell you where the epicenter is located.
Why three seismograph stations are needed to determine the location of an epicenter?
Three seismograph stations are needed to determine the location of an epicenter because each seismograph can determine distance to the epicenter but not direction. The point where the three circles intersect is the epicenter of the earthquake. +++ Focus - not epicentre, which is the point of maximum movement on the surface above the slip itself.
How is the fact that P waves travel more quickly the S waves used to determine the distance of an earthquake's epicenter from a seismograph station?
Given the difference in arrival times, you can determine the distance from the epicenter.
What is the method used to figure out the epicenter of an earthquake?
epicenter and seiesmic waves, find the distance and seismograph stations
How many seismograph data points are required to locate an earthquake's epicenter?
At least 3 stations are required to find the epicenter

Geologists use the difference in the arrival times of P waves and S waves at a seismograph to determine?
The distance to the epicenter
How will two seismograms one close by the epicenter and one further away be different?
The seismograph taken at the epicenter will experience more rapid shaking because it is on the epicenter. The seismograph take further away from the epicenter will experience less violent shaking.

One seismograph station by itself can determine the?
distance to the epicenter
Difference between seismograph and seismogram?

The distance between an earthquake epicenter and the location of a seismograph can be calculated because?
4. shear waves and compression waves travel at different speeds, therefore the difference in arrival time can be used to fix the distance.
Why are seismographs stations needed to determine the location of an epicenter?
Three seismograph stations are needed to determine the location of an epicenter because each seismograph can determine distance to the epicenter but not direction. The point where the three circles intersect is the epicenter of the earthquake. +++ Focus - not epicentre, which is the point of maximum movement on the surface above the slip itself.
What is the relationship between lag time and distance from an earthquake's epicenter?
The more is the time taken and the distance recorded by the seismograph, the more is the effect of an earthquake:)
How many seismograph data points are required to locate an earthquake's epicenter?
At least 3 stations are required to find the epicenter
