Use the following series of steps to get all the information you need to identify the location of the earthquake and pinpoint when it occurred 1. Identify the four different seismic waves on seismograms from three stations. 2. Determine the arrival times and measure the delays between different waves. 3. Use these data and the travel-time diagram to estimate each station's distance from the epicenter 4. Use triangulation to locate the epicenter. 5. Determine the time of faulting with the travel-time diagram. 1: Reading a Seismogram Recognizing Types of Waves You will need to know what P-, S-, Love, and Rayleigh waves look like on a seismogram in order to identify them correctly Each seismic wave causes the ground to shake differently (Fig. 16.2), and this produces a different appearance on a seismogram. The differences are in wave amplitude (height) and frequency (the time between adiacent wave peaks) 415 Laboratory Manual for Introductory Geology (Third Edition) ^ 218/2017

Explanation / Answer

Virtual Seismology

One method of locating an epicenter is through the time-honoured method taught in most earth science classes called triangulation.Triangulation requires that you determine the exact arrival time of the P and S waves produced by an earthquake for at least three different seismograph stations.Since P waves travel roughly twice as fast as S waves,the further the earthquake's epicenter the greater the time difference between the two arrival time.
