If there are 3 records of the same earthquake how can the epicenter be determined?
The epicenter can be determined by measuring the time difference between the arrival of P and S waves, and then calculating the distance of the epicenter from each of the 3 stations. Once you have estimated the distance for each station you then draw a circle around each one. The place where the circles meet or intersect, is the epicenter.
What does the radius of each circle represent in science?
The radius of a circle is the distance from the circle's centre to its circumference
How would you locate the epicenter of an earthquake once you have determined the distance from the epicenter of the earthquake to each of three seismographic stations?
The three stations' rings that showed the distance from the epicenter and in that area would be where the epicenter is.
How do you figure out the distance of an epicenter?
The distance of an epicenter from a seismograph station can determined by the time it takes for the seismic waves to reach each station. You need at least 3 seismic stations to record the event to determine this. The time taken for each seismic station to resisted the event will be different as they are different distances from the epicenter. The distance to the epicenter can then be calculated for each station and a epicenter can be determined by a triangulation from all stations that have registered the event.
Why is three the minimum number of stations necessary to locate an epicenter?
Three seismic stations are needed to find the epicenter of an earthquake because all three radial circles made by the stations will only meet at one point. (example: if you only had to circles they would meet at two different points)At least 3

What does the radious of each circle represent?
The radius of a circle is a straight line from the centre of the circle to its circumference.
