Answer:

Triangulation method

Step-by-step explanation:

  • In triangulation method Scientist s take a paper.
  • The sesmometers which are established in that area is shown as green dots.
  • The calculated distance from each seismometer to the earthquake is shown as a circle.
  • The point where all circles intercept eachother is known as the epicenter of the earthquake.

Earthquake:-

  • Their are many plates moving inside earth's surface.
  • When the plates collide with eachother a friction arises which is called earthquake.
