How do seismologists determine an earthquake's starting time?
Seismologists determine an earthquake's starting time by analyzing data from multiple seismic stations that record the seismic waves generated by the earthquake. By comparing the arrival times of these waves at different stations, seismologists can triangulate the earthquake's epicenter and calculate the origin time. This information is crucial for understanding the earthquake's characteristics and for issuing timely warnings and alerts.
