Each circle is actually the radius around a reporting station. To find an earthquake's epicenter, you need at least three reporting stations. The radius around each station should meet at one point, the epicenter. This point should be about the size of a town, depending on how close or far the reporting stations are. With any less than three reporting stations, the exact point of the epicenter may not be located.

What information goes outer circles of a Venn diagram?
The outer circles show the difference between the two sides. The center where they join are the area they are the same. This is a great graphic way to show comparison of two things or ideas.
What do you need to know about two circles to show that they are congruent?
You need only know the radius of each circle to determine that they are congruent. If the radii are identical, the circles are identical. This can also be determined by comparing the diameters (twice the radii), or the circumferences, or the areas of the circles. In all cases, if the parameters are identical, the circles are identical.
How do you place 10 circles of the same size in five rows with four circles in each row?
Kind of hard to show in here but... Use five circles to form a regular pentagon, then place the other five circles outside the pentagon - so that each is the point of a triangle (with the other points of the triangle formed by the points of the pentagon.

How do scientists work out the epicentre of an earthquake?
Scientists determine the epicenter of an earthquake by analyzing seismic waves recorded by seismometers at different locations. By accurately measuring the arrival times of these waves, scientists can triangulate the epicenter based on the differences in arrival times. The point where the circles or arcs intersect is the estimated epicenter of the earthquake.
How Can seismic be used to determine an earthquake epicenter?
Like a polyghraph squiggles show the techtonic plates moving.
Explain the focus and the epicenter?
the focus is below the epicenter. the epicenter is where the focus is but on the surface. the focus is below the surface, it ranges in the depth. they show you the epicenter on the news, not the focus.
How do scientists prevent and warn tsunamis?
If the tsunami is the result of an earthquake, then scientists take three locations that the earthquake hit. They find a radius by finding out how long it took for P waves and S waves to hit the land. Once they've drawn circles, calculated by the radius, around all three locations there is an epicenter. This is where all three circles intersect. They then have seismographs that show the damage of the earthquake by a Moment Magnitude Scale. Then they predict that a tsunami will follow shortly after and they warn the countries in danger.
Diagram to show the epicentre and the focus of an earthquake?
The epicenter is the point on the Earth's surface directly above the focus, which is the actual point within the Earth where the earthquake originates. In a diagram, the focus would be represented as a point within the Earth, while the epicenter would be shown on the surface directly above it. Arrows or lines can be used to indicate the direction of seismic waves radiating out from the focus towards the epicenter.
How can seismic waves be used to determine an earthquake's epicenter?
The epicenr can be found by location the sound in the waves carried.
Briefly describe how the epicenter of an earthquake is located?
With the help of seismograph you can find arrival time of secondary wave and primary wave. The difference in time in seconds multiplied by 8 will give you the distance of focus the starting point of earthquake. Even though the speed of these waves differs according the geographical condition the difference in speed is almost constant and it is 8 k/m per second. Therefore you can draw a circle from that station .The focus point should be some where on the circumference of the circle. When you get the data from other seismic station you can draw another circle from that station that will cut the previous circle in two points .One among the two point must be the focus point. When you draw the circle in the same way from third station this will pass through one among the two meeting point of the previous circles. This point is focus.The imaginary point just above focus on earth is the epicenter. To have clear idea about this visit my slide show .I have also found a new method to find the epicenter from single station using my direction finder to gether with seismograph.It is approximate quite enough to issue Tsunami warning. I have issued the warning 2 hours before Tsunami struck our Indian coast but it was ignored. My web site . please be patient to down load .
What do geologists use to locate a earthquakes epicenter?
The S-P time method is perhaps the simplest method seismologists use to find an earthquake's epicenter. +++ No it's not. That finds its Focus. The Epicentre is the point of maximum movement on the land surface above the slip itself.
Do ufo's or aliens make crop circles?
Yes, they make crop circles to show their message to us and decode it
What three things do closed circles represent on a topographical map?
The circles themselves represent elevation, the disatnce between the circles(elevation points) show distances between elevations, therefore showing you rate of elevation increase/decrease, also.
Can you show a picture of an Earthquake?
bava couf show me the pic of an earth quake
