What else can I help you with?
Suppose an earthquake occurs somewhere in California. Could a seismograph on Hawaii be used to help locate the epicenter of the earthquake?

When you are trying to locate an epicenter why is it necessary to know the distance the epicenter for at least three recording stations?
It is necessary to know thedistance from the epicenter for at least three recording stations so, geologist could compare better and when an epicenter is created they can know which one is the farthest and which one is the closest.
What year was a seismograph made in?
The first seismograph was invented in 132 AD by Chinese astronomer Zhang Heng during the Han dynasty. It was a copper vessel with a pendulum mechanism that could detect and record earthquakes.
What was the method that scientists used to identify the location of an earthquake before computers became widely used?
They used permanently-mounted seismometers around the world. Given the readings of all of them, one could triangulate the earthquake's position. Come to think of it, the same system is used today . . . computers just make the process faster and more automatic.
How could you tell which of two observers was farther from an earthquake epicenter by comparing the arrivaltimes of p and s waves for the two locations?
To determine which observer is farther from an earthquake epicenter, you can compare the arrival times of P-waves (primary waves) and S-waves (secondary waves) at each location. P-waves travel faster than S-waves, so the difference in their arrival times increases with distance from the epicenter. By measuring the time difference between the arrivals of these waves at each observer's location, you can calculate the distance to the epicenter; the observer with the larger time difference will be farther from the epicenter.

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.
How could you find the location of the epicenter?
how do seismologist know how to find the location of a epicenter
Did choko invent the seismograph?
Yes, Choko did not invent the seismograph. The seismograph was invented by the Chinese polymath Zhang Heng in 132 AD during the Han Dynasty. Zhang Heng's seismograph could detect and record earthquakes from a distance.
What are antonyms of seismograph?
Well, honey, the antonyms of seismograph are anything that ain't related to measuring earthquakes. So, you could say "banana" or "unicorn" if you're feeling spicy. But really, just think of words like "silence" or "stillness" - they're about as far from a seismograph as you can get.
When an earthquake accurs where could shaking be greater?
Above epicenter.
How many locations of an epicenter can be determined from two epicentral distances?
Oh, dude, like, you can totally determine two possible locations for the epicenter from two epicentral distances. It's like a math puzzle, but with earthquakes. So, yeah, if you have two distances, you basically have two circles intersecting, and where they meet is where the epicenter could be. It's not rocket science... well, actually, it kind of is, but you know what I mean.
A seismograph left on the moon could be used to deterime?
seismic activity, I think
When and where was the Seismograph invented?
Perhaps the earliest seismograph was invented in China A.D. 136 by a m an named Choko.

What is the instrument used by scientists to determine the magnitude of the swell of the volcano?
seismograph is one instrument that could measure earthquakes and volcanoes etc but seismograph is many times use at earthquake!
