The Bohol faultsystem in Bohol Province, Philippines, is an example of a fault where an upperblock of rock slides over a lower block, which is illustrated below. What doyou call this type of fault?

A fault is a thin zone of crushed rock between two blocks of rock and can be any length, from centimeters to thousands of kilometers. An example is the Lubao Fault, located in the province of Pampanga. When an earthquake occurs on a fault, the rock on one side of the fault slips to the other. How do faults cause earthquakes?

II. Solvefor epicentral distance from the stations.
III. Use a triangulation method to locate the earthquake's epicenter.
IV. Determine the time interval between the arrival of the P and S waves.
Seismologists study earthquakes; they locate the epicenter of an earthquake. In what way can they find the epicenter?
