Question 2

You are monitoring a seismograph in Seattle. One morning, your instrument records an earthquake approximately 2000 km away. From that information, can you determine where the earthquake occurred?
 
  A) Yes, because seismographs can indicate direction as well as distance.
  B) Yes. You could take the distance and match it up with known fault lines to find the epicenter.
  C) No, because seismographs can't pick up earthquakes from that far away.
  D) No, because you would need information from more than one seismograph to plot the epicenter.
