Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

The question is not complete since no map is attached, but I would show you how to solve it.

When trying to determine the location of the epicenter of the earthquake, we need at least three different seismic stations. To find the epicenter, a method known as triangulation is used. This is done by drawing circle at each of the seismic stations with the radius of the circle equal to the distance from the station to the earthquake. The point of intersection of this three circles is the epicenter.

In this problem, a circle with a radius of 380 miles is drawn at Phoenix, 280 miles radius circle at Denver and a 880 miles radius circle at California. The point of intersection of the circle gives the epicenter. Note that the circles are drawn to scale.

Why do mass extinctions occur and why do they often mark divisions of geologic time?
EleoNora [17]
Mass extinctions occur for many reasons. Changes in the environment might make it impossible for the local life to survive, diesease or drought might strike, or there might be a natural disaster. These extinctions make good divisions in geologic time because they are easy to locate over a wide area and mark a definitive change in the Earth's systems.

True or false luyten’s star is moving away from our universe
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

True. At present, Luyten's Star is moving away from the Solar System. The closest approach occurred about 13,000 years ago when it came within 3.67 parsecs. The star is currently located 1.2 light years distant from Procyon, which would appear as a visual magnitude −4.5 star in the night sky of Luyten's Star's planets.
