Scientists use triangulation to find the epicenter of an earthquake. When seismic data is collected from at least three different locations, it can be used to determine the epicenter by where it intersects. Every earthquake is recorded on numerous seismographs located in different directions. Each seismograph records the times when the first (P waves) and second (S waves) seismic waves arrive. From that information, scientists can determine how fast the waves are traveling. Knowing this helps them calculate the distance from the epicenter to each seismograph.
To determine the direction each wave traveled, scientists draw circles around the seismograph locations. The radius of each circle equals the known distance to the epicenter. Where these three circles intersect is the epicenter.

No,not all organs are weighed on a triple beam balance.
<u>Explanation:</u>
- Usually smaller sized organs like adrenals, thyroid are commonly used to be weighed on triple beam balance, whereas larger organs like lungs, liver and heart can only be weighed on grocer's scale.
- Only weight of the smaller body organs can be measured very precisely with the help of triple beam balance, where as if we measure the weight of the larger organs using the same triple beam balance,then the resultant value thus obtained will not be accurate enough.
- Hence organs are weighed on a triple beam balance.
