At least three seismic stations are needed to locate an earthquake's epicenter using the triangulation method. By measuring the time it takes for seismic waves to reach each station, scientists can pinpoint the epicenter where the three circles intersect.
No, though they can narrow it down to two possible locations.
At least three seismic stations are needed to compare results and determine the epicenter of an earthquake using the method of triangulation. By measuring the arrival times of seismic waves at different stations, scientists can pinpoint the epicenter where the waves intersect.
A seismologist is a scientist who studies earthquakes and seismic waves. They use tools such as seismometers, GPS, and satellite imagery to detect and locate earthquakes. Seismologists also analyze data from networks of seismic stations to understand the behavior of earthquakes.
To locate the epicenter of an earthquake, you typically need a minimum of three seismic stations. By triangulating the arrival times of the seismic waves at these stations, scientists can estimate the epicenter's location. More stations can increase the accuracy of the calculation.
Geologists use circles to find the epicenter of an earthquake.
yes it can
Geologists locate the epicenter of an earthquake by analyzing the arrival times of seismic waves from the earthquake recorded by seismographs at different locations. By triangulating the arrival times from at least three stations, they can pinpoint the epicenter where the waves intersect.
I got it from my science book its geologist use seismic waves to locate the earthquakes epicenter (that's what the circle center is epicenter)

This job would normally be undertaken by a type of geophysicist known as a seismologist rather than a geologist. For information on how seismologists locate seismic waves, see the related question.

No.
No. Without a 3rd peice of data from another station, there will always be 2 different possible locations of the epicenter. You must have 3 seismographs to collect the data.
