Scientists determine it by calculating the distance of the earthquake's epicenter from the seismometer.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Seismologists use the difference in arrival time between P and S waves to calculate the distance between the earthquake source and the seismograph. Seismograph should be placed far from shaky places like traffic or lose surfaces. It must be placed on a hard rock where there is no disturbance of any kind.

Can molecules made from the same atom form ionic bonds. Why?

Digiron [165]

No. Ionic bonds form when atoms with opposite charges bond with one another. Atoms develop charges by gaining or losing electrons. For a given element, the atoms will (usually) have a tendency to gain OR lose a particular number of electrons, so they can only form ions of a particular charge that is either positive or negative.
