What do seismologists use to determine when an earthquake started?
Seismologists use the difference in arrival times of seismic waves at different monitoring stations to determine when an earthquake started. By analyzing this data, they can pinpoint the origin time of the earthquake. Additionally, seismologists use advanced computer algorithms and technology to help refine the accuracy of the timing.
Why are seismologist interested in seismic gaps?
because they like to learn about it
What do you call a person that predicts an earthquake?
You would call that person lucky. The scientists who study earthquakes are known as seismologists and they say that it is currently not possible to predict when an earthquake will occur.Technically nobody as earthquake prediction is currently impossible however seismologists will produce seismological hazard assessments in an attempt to quantify the likelihood of occurrence of a seismic event of a given magnitude occurring within a given time period on a fault.Seismologist
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 time of day do earthquakes happen?
its always night somewhere on the earth, so when earthquakes occur its technically always at night (though not necessarily where the earth is quakin). yes earthquakes can happen at any time of day.

What is the time required to determine the time for a drop, starting from rest, to reach 63 of terminal velocity?
The time required to determine the time for a drop, starting from rest, to reach 63 of terminal velocity is typically around 5 to 6 seconds.
Do Geologists use the difference in the arrival time of P and S waves at a seismograph to determine the magnitude of an earthquake?
No. Seismologists (a type of geophysicist) use the difference in the arrival time of P and S waves to estimate the distance from the seismometer station to the epicentre of the earthquake.
What is triangulation Earthquakes?
Triangulation in earthquakes refers to the method of determining the exact location of an earthquake epicenter by using data from at least three seismic stations. By measuring the time it takes for seismic waves to reach each station, seismologists can pinpoint the location where the waves originated. This triangulation method helps provide accurate information about the earthquake's epicenter and other characteristics.

Does Ecuador get earthquakes?
Yes,Equador should get Earthquakes in time to time.
Can scientist predict earthquakes?
Earthquake prediction is currently not possible, as such, seismologists will attempt to quantify the risk posed by a particular fault zone rather than state exactly when an earthquake will occur. For more information, please see the related question.
What do geologists use to locate a earthquakes epicenter?
The S-P time method is perhaps the simplest method seismologists use to find an earthquake's epicenter. +++ No it's not. That finds its Focus. The Epicentre is the point of maximum movement on the land surface above the slip itself.
What can give a warning for earthquakes about one tenth of the time?
If you take the past earthquakes and study them and how they were you can find out about where some future earthquakes might be then you can provide a warning for earthquakes about 10% of the time.
Why at the time of earthquakes temples does not fall?
Temples fall in earthquakes all the time. And they kill whoever is inside them at the time.
