1.Where is the epicenter of hypothetical earthquake? 2. What difficulty will you encounter if you only have data from two recording station ?
Answer (1)
1.The **epicenter** is the point **on the Earth’s surface directly above the focus** (also called the hypocenter), where the earthquake originates underground.2.The two stations will give you two distance circles, and **those circles intersect in two possible points**.- That means you will have **two possible epicenters**, and you **won’t be able to tell which one is correct** without data from a third station.
