Answer: b. comparing the arrival times of the P-and S-waves.

Explanation: The epicenter of earthquakes is the location where the earthquake starts in the earth crust. To calculate the distance to the epicenter of an earthquake, you need to compare the arrival times of the P waves and the S waves. On a seismograph, a line is equivalent to 1 minute but it depends on the scale used.

Determine the magnitude of the earthquake by plotting the distance and amplitude on a chart and joining the two points.

Triangulation is then used to locate the epicenter. Three circles with a radius of the magnitude are drawn around the affected parts. The epicenter is the point where these circles meet.

In all continents, there has always been a need to have something on the foot. When the need for something becomes imperative, you are forced to find ways of getting or achieving it, but then the need for a sandals doesn't creates a kind of interaction with people, states, or countries on cultural, religious, political, or ideologically grounds. Sandals doesn't make the human race one big family on any grounds, but then take Cell phone. Cell phones and iPods have in no small way broken the obstacles and challenges the world faces. I can communicate with Admin in secs even though he lives thousands of miles away. On the other hand, a blue Jeans is, too, because many people in different countries have embraced a foreign culture, or mode of dressing of europeans and are sharing a similar culture.</span>
