how do seismologist know how to find the location of a epicenter
you need to have 3 seismic stations to triangulate the location of the earthquake and remember a earthquake can be from the inside of the earth but not necessarily at the epicenter because no epicenter is a straight line down.

Location: An earthquake with its epicenter in the middle of the Pacific Ocean probably won't even be felt on land. The same strength and depth, with its epicenter near San Francisco could potentially cause thousands of deaths.See the "Zoom In" link!
you have to find the s and p to find and then you have the awnser

At least three seismograph stations are needed to triangulate the exact location of an earthquake's epicenter. By comparing the arrival times of the seismic waves at different stations, scientists can pinpoint the epicenter where these intersect. More stations can provide a more accurate and precise location.
The location on the surface directly above the earthquake focus is called the epicenter.
yes
That would be the "epicenter".
the epicenter (EP uh sen tur)
The map location of an earthquake is called its epicenter. This represents the point on the Earth's surface directly above where the earthquake originated.

The minimum number of seismic stations needed to determine the location of an earthquake's epicenter is THREE.
The term defined as the exact location where an earthquake occurred is the "epicenter." It is the point on the Earth's surface directly above the location where the earthquake's energy is released.
