    1) This document provides instructions for using triangulation to locate the epicenter of an earthquake using data from three recording stations. 2) Students are asked to use the formula d=td*100 km/8 seconds to calculate distances from each station to the epicenter, and then draw circles with those radii to locate where all three intersect on a map. 3) The key answers indicate the epicenter is in Cebu City based on where all three circles intersect, and that with only two stations there would be two possible epicenter locations where the circles intersect.

    Find the Center!

    Materials:
    ruler
    compass
    calculator

    Direction: Using the map, locate the epicenter of an earthquake using the triangulation method.

    td
    Using the formula: d= x 100 km
    8 seconds
    Compute for the distance.
    Where: d = distance in km
    Td = time difference in the interval of
    P-wave and S-wave (sec)
    A. Compute the distance (cm)

    B. Compute for the distance on the map

    Guide Questions:

    1. Since the three circles drawn intersect in Cebu City, it is where the epicenter is.
    2. Assuming that the two circles will intersect, the circles will intersect at two points. Therefore,
    there will be two locations that could possibly be the epicenter.
