You were asked to locate the epicenter of a recent earthquake. Which correct sequence of events should you follow?

I. Determine the difference in the arrival time of S and P wave recorded from each of the seismological stations.

II. Use the triangulation method to locate the center.

III. Obtain data from three seismological stations.

IV. Determine the distance of the epicenter from stations.

• I, III, II, IV

• III, I, IV, II

• III, IV, I, II

• IV, II, I, III

All of the following are basis that an area is an earthquake prone EXCEPT:

• Volcanic activities in the area openly occur.

• The area is situated at the fault line

• Area is a place where mountain range is also located.

• Area is closer to bodies of water such as rivers and lakes.

All of the places in the world are prone to earthquake EXCEPT:

• Western Coast of North America

• Western Coast of South America
