What does the center of each circle represent in the epicenter of an earthquake?
it is the seismic focus center
What does the of each circle represent in a epicenter?
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)
What are circles having the same center?
concentric circles
Is the center of a circle the point of intersection for two concentric circles?
Concentric circles are the circles with the same center therefore they do not cross with each other as the "center is not considered a point on the circle". An exception would be two circles that are concentric and have the same radius, in which case the circles are indistinct and every point of the circles is an intersection.
What does the radius of each circle represent in a epicenter?
The distance to the center.
What is the center of an earthquake is called?
The epicenter.
What is focus in earthquake?
The center of an earthquake is the epicenter.
What is centre of earthquake?
The center of an earthquake is known as its epicenter.
Where is the earthquake's epicenter is located?
The epicenter is the surface located right above the focus, which is the center of an earthquake.
Is epicenter the center of an earthquake?
Yes
What is the name of the center of the earthquake?
An epicenter.
Is the epicenter of an earthquake far from the quake's center?
No because the epicenter is right on top of the center of the quake.
What is the process that is used to find an earthquake's epicenter?
Triangulation. First, they calculate the time between the first and second - primary and secondary - seismic waves created in an earthquake and use this information to determine how far the seismometer is from the epicenter of the earthquake. A circle is drawn around the seismometer so that it is in the center and the radius is equal to the calculated distance. Using this information from three different seismometers, two more circles are drawn and the intersecting point of the three circles is where the epicenter of the earthquake is located.
What is the center of a earthquake called?
It is called the EPICENTER
What does the center of each circle represent in the epicenter of an earthquake?
it is the seismic focus center
How focus and epicenter related?
The focus and epicenter are both "earthquake points". The focus is the point of origin of an earthquake or underground nuclear explosion while the epicenter the very center or focal point.
Is the epicenter?
Epicenter is used in the field of earth quakes. Epicenter means the spot where the earth quake occured or where the effects were felt the strongest
