By comparing the arrival times of the earthquake's waves at the two stations, you can determine the distance between the earthquake and each station. With this information, you can use triangulation to estimate the earthquake's location based on the intersection of the circles representing the distance between the earthquake and each station.
What are the names of the tectonic plates that caused the haiti earthquake?
The North American and Caribbean tectonic plates caused the Haiti earthquake in 2010. The movement along the boundary between these two plates resulted in the devastating earthquake.
