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.

Which does not affect the amount of destruction caused by earthquake vibrations?
Soloha48 [4]

<u>ANSWER:</u>

The answer is A. If the structure of a building is built with earthquake-resistant materials, it does not affect the amount of destruction caused by earthquake vibrations.

<u>EXPLANATION:</u>

  • Especially in the countries that are prone to an earthquake, houses and building should be carefully planned and built in order to withstand an earthquake.
  • The bricks should be held in place with the right mortar. Also, the base of the building should be made stronger rather than the top floors.
  • Steel-framed buildings and good pillared buildings also tend to survive powerful quakes and vibrations.
