<u>Answer:</u>

False, Four seismometer statitons are no required to find the earthquake's epicenter.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The least number of seismometer stations sufficient for finding the epicenter of earthquake is three. Epicenter is point on earth's crust from where the seismic rupture gets originated. Using the distances to the epicenter from atleast three seismometers the epicenter of earthquake can be determined. This distance is used as the radius and 3 circles are drawn. The point at which the 3 circles intersect is called as epicenter of the earthquake. With one seismometer station, we can determine only the distance to the epicenter. With two seismometer station, measurements are ambiguous. Using more than three seismometer stations produces redundant information. Hence three seismometer is sufficient to determine the epicenter of earthquake.

Austin buys a new moped he travel 3 km south and then 4 km east and then 3km north how far does he need to go to get back to whe
Ira Lisetskai [31]
The first thing to do is to define the origin of the coordinate system as the point at which the moped journey begins.
 Then, you must write the position vector:
 r = -3j + 4i + 3j
 Rewriting
 r = 4i
 To go back to where you started, you must go
 d = -4i
 That is to say, must travel a distance of 4Km to the west.
 Answer
 West, 4km.
