Scientists use a computer to locate the epicenter because it would be dangerous to go out there and locate it.... and they never know about any after shocks......
Latitude and longitude coordinates are used to locate places on the Earth's surface. Latitude measures distance north or south of the Equator, while longitude measures distance east or west of the Prime Meridian. This system allows for accurate and precise pinpointing of locations worldwide.

Scientists use latitude and longitude coordinates to pinpoint locations on Earth. Latitude measures how far north or south a point is from the equator, while longitude measures how far east or west a point is from the Prime Meridian.
Earthquakes
No.
The point on the Earth's surface directly above where an earthquake begins is known as the epicenter. It is the point on the surface vertically above the focus or hypocenter of the earthquake, where the seismic waves originate. Seismologists use the epicenter to locate and map earthquake events.
true trust me i got it wrong on a test when i put faulse. the answer i true
A map grid is a framework of horizontal and vertical lines used to locate positions on a map. It helps to show landmasses accurately on a flat surface by providing coordinates for specific locations.
