Answer:

The Earth is an oblate spheroid, bulging out slightly at the poles

Explanation:

  • Earth's surface structure is in the form of geoid of three-dimensional structure. As the earth's topographic features are associated with landform and water bodies.
  • Hence earth is not a complete sphere nor a perfect sphere its a form of oval-shaped epllicics and thus has an ellipsoid revolution and a tilt around the sun on its axis.
  • The bulge at the equator is a product of the spinning of the earth and modern geodesy takes this ellipsoidal as a spheroid.

Starting from the beginning of an earthquake, number the steps of the triangulation process in the correct order to find the epi
Dmitriy789 [7]

To find the epicenter (the point on the earth's surface where an earthquake begins) during earthquakes, one need to view the seismogram (a record of the ground motion), and at least two other seismographs recorded for the same earthquake. Other instruments such as a map, a compass for sketching circles on the map, a ruler, and a pencil will also be used.

The following are the steps of the triangulation process in the correct order to find the epicenter during earthquakes:

Step 1: Subtract the time of P wave arrival from S wave arrival.

Step 2: See what the time difference is equal to in distance on a seismic wave chart.

Step 3: Draw circles representing the distances from at least three seismograph stations to the epicenter on a map.

Step 4: Find the point where all 3 circles intersect, and you've found the earthquake's epicenter.

What is the difference between p waves and s waves
galben [10]

Answer:

Because of their wave movement, P waves travel through any kind of material, whether it is a solid, liquid or gas. On the other hand, S waves only move through solids and are stopped by liquids and gases. ... This also accounts why fewer S waves are recorded than P waves.
