The more is the time taken and the distance recorded by the seismograph, the more is the effect of an earthquake:)

What is the difference between hypocenter and a epicenter?
The hypocenter is the exact location of the earthquakes origin, but where it occurs inside of the Earth. The epicenter is the spot on the Earths crust directly above where the hypocenter is. Or something like that.
What is the relationship between intensity and magnitude of an and earthquake?
the relationship between earthquakes magnitude is the size or amount of energy an earthquake produces and has no connection to hour often earthquakes occur.
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.
Which two waves from an earthquake can triangulate the epicenter?
P-waves (Primary) and S-waves (Secondary). Using the difference in time between the arrival of P- and S-waves, you can then determine the distance from the epicenter. Once you've determined the distance from the epicenter of three different stations, you'll be able to triangulate the epicenter (the point where all three circles cross).
If the lag time between the arrival of the P waves and the S waves is 5 minutes what is the distance to the epicenter?
4,000 kilometers
What is the relationship between earthquakes and tornadoes?
There is no relationship between tornadoes and earthquakes.
What is the difference between hypocenter and a epicenter?
The hypocenter is the exact location of the earthquakes origin, but where it occurs inside of the Earth. The epicenter is the spot on the Earths crust directly above where the hypocenter is. Or something like that.
The distance between a seismic station and the earthquake epicenter is determined from the?
The difference in arrival times of P and S waves.
How is the distance between a seismic station and the earthquake epicenter is determined?
The distance between a seismic station and the earthquake epicenter is determined from the S-P interval, which is the time difference between the time of arrival of the first P wave and the first S wave.
How is the distance between the seismic station and the earthquake epicenter determined?
The distance between a seismic station and the earthquake epicenter is determined from the S-P interval, which is the time difference between the time of arrival of the first P wave and the first S wave.
What is the relationship between intensity and magnitude of an and earthquake?
the relationship between earthquakes magnitude is the size or amount of energy an earthquake produces and has no connection to hour often earthquakes occur.

What is the term for the relationship between the distance?
um Long-distance relationship?
Is there a relationship between the direction of the movement and distribution of earthquakes?
