Given information
The distance of an earthquake must be established from at least three seismic stations in order to determine its location. Each station is then surrounded by circles with the required radius. The epicenter of the earthquake is determined by the intersection of the three circles.
Step-by-step explanation
Step 1.
An earthquake is a natural occurrence that causes the earth's surface to shake. The release of the crust's energy to the outer rocky layer causes an earthquake. The epicenter is the location on the surface of the earth where the earthquake begins.
