∙ 9y agoThe waves of earthquakes help us determine information about the interior of the earth. The more geologists know about the interior of the earth, the better they can predict earthquakes and other changes in the formation of the Earth's crust.

Warnings on TVs tell people to get out of the building their in.
The epicenter refers to the point on the earth's surface above the focus of an earthquake. Geologists determine the epicenter with the use of 3 seismographs. This method is called triangulation.
the china earthquake obviously happened in china but it happend in a place called Sichuan. Can anyboy else tell me why did the earthquake happen?
Earthquake can result psychological, mental and physical damages in health. People might experience trauma, depression and physical injuries after an earthquake.
Most small earthquakes are just background seismicity. There is no way to tell whether a small event will be followed by a larger one. But if there is a larger earthquake afterwards, the first earthquake is called a "foreshock"
How far away the epicenter is.
It tells you when if how or why an earthquake is coming. They also tell you what degree the earthquake will be.
they do it by using a seismograph
seismograph is how to measure the intensity the earthquake will be or was.
It doesnt tell exactly when an earthquake will hit.
There is no way of knowing, that's what makes earthquakes so very terrifying.
im guessing something to do with earthquakes. Since a seismograph is used to measure earthquakes and also because the word 'earthquake' is Spanish is 'sismo'
The value that occurs the most number of times.
The difference between the two seismograph readings could tell you where the epicenter is located.
usually the ground shakes and objects sway back and forth, but in very mild earthquakes you will notice nothing except with a seismograph. severe earthquakes may cause building to collapse, burying you.
From Science Explorer Prentice Hall Earth Science: " Geologists use seismic waves to locate an earthquake's epicenter. Seismic waves travel at different speeds. P waves arrive at a seismograph first, with S waves following close behind. To tell how far the epicenter is from the seismograph, scientists measure the difference between the arrival time of the P waves and S waves. The farther away an earthquake is, the greater the time between arrival of the P waves and the S waves." Did this help?
wellthe teacher would tell you to go under neath th desk until further notice
