Answer:

Explanation:

If the differences in the time of arrival of each wave is measured, the distance can be calculated. The more the difference in their time of arrival, the more the distance and this distance can be in any direction. If distance is used as the radius on the circle that will mean that the disturbance must have taken place on the circle.

If you place a telephone call to two people with similar measurements about this same event at different places, then their circles can be transfered to your own map, the point of intersection of this 3 circles is the location of disturbance.

What about the Fall Line makes navigating rivers difficult?
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

Rivers of the Coastal Plain were a major means of commercial transportation during the 1700s and early 1800s. Cities founded along the fall line, called “fall line cities,” are located at the places where these rivers crossed the fall line, marking the upstream limit of travel. The city of Columbus, for example, was established where the Chattahoochee River crosses the fall line; Macon, Milledgeville, and Augusta are similarly located at the crossings of the Ocmulgee, Oconee, and Savannah rivers, respectively. These cities became important transportation hubs because traders could only travel upstream until they reached the waterfalls of the fall line. At that point they were forced to disembark and reload their cargo on the other side of the falls in order to continue their journeys. Columbus served as the upstream head of navigation for the Chattahoochee, as did Augusta for the Savannah River and Macon for the Ocmulgee River. After the first steamship arrived in 1828, Columbus became a gateway city for cotton. Above the fall line, flatboats and barges moved goods around the state. Below the fall line, steamships had unimpeded access to move goods, mostly cotton, into the Gulf of Mexico.
