What is the fewest number of seismic stations needed to locate an earthquakes epicenter?
2
How many stations must compare results to determine the epicenter?
A minimum of three seismic stations must compare results to locate an earthquakes epicenter.
What is a seismologist and what types of scientific tools do they use to locate earthquakes?
Seismologist use a seismometer or seismograph to record the P and S-wave arrival times.Please see the related question for detail on how this is used to locate an earthquake epicenter.Geologists use seismic waves to locate an earthquake's epicenter.
How many seismometer measurements are needed to determine an earthquake's epicenter?
Measurements from at least three different seismometer stations are required to locate an earthquakes epicentre. For more information see the related question.
How many stations do you need to locate the epicenter of the earthquake?
Three
How do geologist locate the epicenter of earthquakes?
Geologists use circles to find the epicenter of an earthquake.
How do you locate an earthquakes epicenters?
An earthquakes epicenter is the point on the surface directly above the focus
What is the fewest number of seismic stations needed to locate an earthquakes epicenter?

What does the of each circle represent in a epicenter?
I got it from my science book its geologist use seismic waves to locate the earthquakes epicenter (that's what the circle center is epicenter)
Can geologists use data from two seismograph stations to locate an earthquakes epicenter?
yes it can
What does the center of each circle represent in a epicenter?
I got it from my science book its geologist use seismic waves to locate the earthquakes epicenter (that's what the circle center is epicenter)

How many stations must compare results to determine the epicenter?
A minimum of three seismic stations must compare results to locate an earthquakes epicenter.
What is the difference of the P waves and S waves used to locate an earthquake's epicenter?
P waves, also called primary waves, are the first waves to be registered on a seismograph. The S waves, or secondary waves, are the second and slower wave to register on the seismograph. When locating an earthquakes epicenter seismologists take the first reading of the P wave, and then take the reading from the S wave. At the station of where the earthquake was recorded, seismologists draw a large circle from where the earthquakes epicenter could be. TO exactly located the earthquakes epicenter there needs to be at least 3 dfferent staions where the earthquake hit to determine its epicenter using the S and P time interval.
What is it called when scientists use 3 or more seismographs to locate the epicenter of an earthquake?
triangulating its loction
