Do seismographs monitor earthquakes?

Scientists use seismographs to monitor earthquakes. Though, a seismograph merely registers an earthquake. By using at least three seismograph stations, and using triangulation, the epicentre of the earthquake is able to be plotted.


Why do electric pylons have triangulation?

Triangulation is used to determine the position of points on the Earth's surface, including pylons. Pylons use triangles in their construction because a triangle is a very strong and stable structure.


How do you use triangulation to locate an earthquakes epicenter with three seismographs?

To locate an earthquake's epicenter using triangulation with three seismographs, first, each seismograph records the time it takes for seismic waves to reach it. By calculating the difference in arrival times of the primary (P) and secondary (S) waves, the distance from each seismograph to the epicenter can be determined. Each seismograph provides a circular area around it, with a radius equal to the calculated distance. The epicenter is located at the point where all three circles intersect.


Triangulation refers to the?

need to find field site that has not been studied before. Triangulation can also refer to a way of finding an unknown location by knowing that it's between other given points. Ashford - importance of talking to several people about a particular topic


Why do you need three seismic to find epicenter of an earthquake?

Triangulation for accuracy. The method is called "triangulation" ... same method used by GPS units to coordinate the exact locations. Please see the related question for more information.

How does triangulation work in structures?

A triangulation data structure is a data structure designed to handle the representation of a two dimensional triangulation. Triangulation is the one who is responsible for the creation and removal of faces and vertices (memory management).

Is there a machine that locates earthquakes?

seismograph However one only shows how far away the earthquake was, to locate the earthquake you need several in different locations and have to perform triangulation based on the different measurements.


Do pyramids use triangulation?

no....


Does the Brooklyn bridge use triangulation?

Yes the Brooklyn bridge does use triangulation. If you want proof look at a really big picture or use this link below. Zoom in and you can see the triangulation at the sides.

Is Triangulation primarily used to measure the distance of close stars?

Answer #1:no=================Answer #2:Yes.Another answer: The primary use of triangulation may not be to measure the distance of stars, but the method which is used to measure the distance of close stars is primarily triangulation.


How are the epicenter and the focus located?

with triangulation


Is there any cell phone with triangulation technology?

Yes. GSM phones (phones sold by T-Mobile and AT&T) use triangulation.


Can you use triangulation in a sentence?

Triangulation of the exact location of any given thing has become much easier with the development of satellite technology.
