[NOTE TO STUDENTS: This exercise assumes that you have a data table and graph made
while using the Earthquakes 1 – Recording Center Gizmo™. If you do not have those, or
have never used that Gizmo before, do that first.]

Vocabulary: body wave, earthquake, epicenter, fault, focus, P wave, S wave, seismic wave,
seismogram, seismograph

Prior Knowledge Questions (Do these BEFORE using the Gizmo.)
Three dogs meet in a park. Each dog is attached by a leash to its owner (triangles).

What does each colored circle represent?

Each colored circle represents the distance that each dog could
walk. The leash would define the radius

Where could all the dogs meet in one place?

seismograms are complete.

Goal: Based on three seismograms, locate the epicenter of an earthquake.

Prepare: To complete this activity, you will need the table and graph you made in the
Earthquakes 1 – Recording Station Student Exploration. Take this out now. If you do not have
it, there is a graph you can use at the end of this report.

Measure: Turn on Show time probe. On each seismogram, locate the first P-wave and the first
S-wave. Measure the time interval (∆t) for each seismogram, and then use your graph to find
the distance of each station to the epicenter.
Use the graph provided on the last page of this report to determine the distances.
