What method is used by scientists to locate the epicenter of an earthquake?
Triangulation. For more information please see the related question below.
What is the method that scientists use to determine the epicenter of an earthquake?
The maximum intensity is at the epicenter. It is how the scientists calculate the epicenter.

Can the s-p time method be used with one seismograph station to locate the epicenter of an earthquake?
The first step in this method is to collect several seismograms of the same earthquake from different locations. Then, the seismograms are placed on a time-distance graph. The seismogram tracing of the first P wave is lined up with the P-wave time-distance curve, and the tracing of the first S wave is lined up with the S-wave curve.The distance of each station from the earthquake can be found by reading the horizontal axis. After finding out the distances, a seismologist can locate an earthquake's epicenter.-New Boyz
How can geologists tell where the epicenter of an earthquake is?
The epicenter refers to the point on the earth's surface above the focus of an earthquake. Geologists determine the epicenter with the use of 3 seismographs. This method is called triangulation.

Triangulation. For more information please see the related question below.
A travel-time graph can be used to find the?
The distance of an earthquake epicenter from a seismic station. Using the Three point method, the distance from 3 seismic stations are used to locate the epicenter by triangulation.

Why do you need three seismic to find epicenter of an earthquake?
Triangulation for accuracy. The method is called "triangulation" ... same method used by GPS units to coordinate the exact locations. Please see the related question for more information.

What is the method used to figure out the epicenter of an earthquake?
epicenter and seiesmic waves, find the distance and seismograph stations
Is Triangulation primarily used to measure the distance of close stars?
Answer #1:no=================Answer #2:Yes.Another answer: The primary use of triangulation may not be to measure the distance of stars, but the method which is used to measure the distance of close stars is primarily triangulation.
Is theory development always part of the scientific method?
It is fair to say that the scientific method is always intended to produce better theories.
