Scientist use triangulation method to locate the epicentre of an earthquake from the data collected from Seismograph.

A seismogram is the output from a graph called seismograph, which is used to determine the epicentre of an earthquake. There are two waves namely <em>P-waves or Primary waves and</em> <em>S-waves or secondary waves </em>that are considered while finding the epicentre of an earthquake.
