Which travels fastest? Which causes most damage? - ANSWER-P and S waves. S waves ...

GEOG 1114 Physical Geography - Oklahoma State University. Locating the epicenter of an earthquake using trilateration Now, you will learn how data from seismographs in different locations are used to pinpoint the epicenter of an earthquake via trilateration. The material you need to refer to for this activity is in the file "Epicenter exercise package" on Canvas. The file has the seismograms for three locations (Marlow, OK, Carrier, OK, and Bolivar, MO), a scale with the P-S waves curve, and a...

What is a foreshock? - Are smaller earthquakes that happen in the same place as the larger earthquake that follows. What is a main shock? - Main earthquake What is an aftershock? - Are smaller earthquakes that occur afterwards in the same place as the main shock.
