Answer:

Down below

Step-by-step explanation:

I would modify seismograph resources by requesting reports from earthquake stations that felt the tremors. I would then use the reports and look at the arrival time of the p waves and the s waves. If a station recorded the s waves arriving much quicker than the others, I can safely say that the epicenter was in that area. From there, I can request reports in that area and use the triangulation method to pinpoint the exact location.

Sorry if this is wrong. Looked in my lesson and used this as my base for my answer.
