Instructions

Using the seismographic data you obtained for this earthquake event, plot the distance of the earthquake from each of the three seismographic stations on the map below to determine the epicenter. Click on the map at the station location and drag your mouse to the distance of the earthquake from that statoin. For your convenience the radius of the circle you are drawing, which is the distance from station, is provided in the chart.

Note: Attempting to draw a fourth circle will erase the first three and start from "fresh slate". (Note to self: Possibly add a clear button?)

FYI: To see a list of all seismogrpahic stations in Nevada visit The Nevada Seismological Labratory
