Where are the three seismographs used to find the epicenter of this earthquake located?

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.

Answer:

The given question is incomplete. It is missing an attachment which is added below. According to the attachment provided, the solution is as follows-

The seismologists commonly used the triangulation method from the data that is acquired by the seismograph. This method is used by the help of three seismographs that are placed at three different locations. During the time of the earthquake, these seismographs record the data and forms three distinct circles. These three circles obtained from the three seismographs intersect at a common point, and this point is the epicenter of the earthquake.

Thus, from the image, looking at the three circles and the intersecting point the epicenter can be determined.

Therefore, the three seismographs are used at Minneapolis, Detroit, and Charleston in order to find the earthquake epicenter.

How do I know the phenotype and genotype percentage on a punnet square?
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

Phenotypes are physical attributes. Genotypes are the alleles.

The phenotypes are 75% green peas and 25% yellow peas. This is because the capital G is a dominant allele and green is the dominant attribute and as long as 1 G is present, then the pea will appear green.

The genotypes are 25% GG, 50% Gg, and 25% gg.

Please thank!

The shortest length of time required to kill all test microbes at a specified temperature is the thermal death ________ whereas
Aliun [14]

Answer:

time; point

Explanation:

The complete question is as follows:

The shortest length of time required to kill all test microbes at a specified temperature is the thermal death __________ whereas the lowest temperature required to kill all microbes in a sample within 10 minutes is the thermal death _________.

time; point

window; point

point; time

time; temperature

  • When a population of bacteria gets killed due to exposure to high temperatures then this is termed as thermal death.
  • The time taken to kill a specific microbe at a specific temperature is termed as the thermal death time. The length of the time taken depends on the nature of the target microbe and hence, varies from one to another.
  • The lowest temperature that will kill all the microbes in a sample within ten minutes is defined as the thermal death point. The temperature at which the microbes get killed within 10 minutes also varies from one microbe to another.
  • Thermal death results in the disruption of the cell membranes of the microbes and hence can kill the microbes.

 Anaphylaxis,<span>serum sickness and toxicity from food are the three problems.
Anaphylaxis refers to a severe and very serious allergic reaction which should be treated right away otherwise it may caus death, Serum sickness is also similar to the allergy and in type II hypersensitivity and clinically we can say that the reaction due to the medicine that does not contain protein. Toxicity from food refers to the food poisoning that is caused by contaminated food.</span>
