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.

What are some of the major landforma found in mexico
Aleksandr [31]
One landform found in Mexico is volcanoes, also mesas and buttes and canyons like the Canon del Cobre in I believe the province of Durango up on the interior plateau so it definitely has a variety of landforms which reflect that it is on the circum-pacific ring of fire and also is partly quite arid.

TRUE OR FALSE: Soil color only reflects the amount of organic matter present in soil.
garri49 [273]
I don't believe that that is true due to the fact you can see soil even if there are no plants in it although im not 100% sure as soil and key components in it may be considered organic
