The distance from the earthquake to the observation point is estimated using the arrival time difference of the P-wave and S-wave information needed to determine the distance from the focus of an earthquake to the seismic receiving station.

The distance from the epicenter of an earthquake to the seismic station is determined by the time difference between the first arrival of the P and S waves. This is known as the S-P interval.

Requires triangulation to determine the exact location. Three seismometers are required. A circle is drawn from each of the three different seismometer sites, with the radius of each circle equal to the distance from that seismic receiving station to the epicenter.

How would you measure a distance on the map that is longer then the scale bar?
nasty-shy [4]
You see how much the scale is, let's say that it is 150 mm=300 miles. If it goes over, you can measure it with a ruler, or move with your hands, measuring it as well as possible and estimating. Hope this helps! :)

How does a globe and a flashlight can be used to show why the sun appears to move through the sky.
algol [13]

Answer:

In fact, you may point your flashlight (or laser pointer, if you prefer) at the Andromeda galaxy. There is a non-zero probability that one or more of the photons will be seen by some alien in that galaxy when they happen to glance into the sky at the Milky Way. However, you must take care to aim your flashlight not where Andromeda appears now, but where it will be in 3 million years. Good luck!
