To determine the distance of the earthquake epicenter, you can use the steps in the previous section. Every earthquake is recorded on numerous seismographs located in different directions. Fourth/last step of finding epicenter. Scientists use triangulation to find the epicenter of an earthquake. Image from purdue university, copyright 2008 l. Use a compass and draw a circle around 3 cities, find the intersection. Scientists first determine the epicenter distance from three different seismographs. Use the scale in the middle of the maps to find the distance from the station. Find the point for 24 seconds on the left side of the chart below and mark that point. Even if no one is at the epicenter (location where the fault slips) scientists can locate it.

The procedure for locating an epicenter has three steps: To determine the distance of the earthquake epicenter, you can use the steps in the previous section. Measure the distance between the first p wave and the first s wave. Braile *the sample earthquake estimates 3 minutes 3 seconds (00:03:03) for the s wave at station bcip and 1 minute. For large and great earthquakes, the area of slip on the fault can extend tens or hundreds of.
