What is Seismic Waves: Locating Earthquake Epicenters about?
An earthquake is caused by the sudden release of energy within the Earth, creating seismic waves that help locate the epicenter. Seismic waves are categorized into body waves (P-waves and S-waves) and surface waves, with P-waves being the fastest and S-waves traveling through solids only. To determine the epicenter, seismologists use the time difference between P-wave and S-wave arrivals and apply the triangulation method using data from three seismic stations.
