- joxel 4y agoEarthquakes can be sensed from basically anywhere, only the time it takes the P/S waves to travel to you are different, especially if the quake is M>5. More sensors don’t really add more detections, but are useful for pinpointing an origin.
- citrin_ru 4y agoIf you don’t have enough sensors how do you distinguish between M<5 far away and M<5 in proximity?
- joxel 4y agoThe timing it takes for the P/S waves to reach you. One travels through the center, and the other travels along the surface of the earth. Here's a quick rundown: https://slcc.pressbooks.pub/physicalgeography/chapter/4-3/ https://slcc.pressbooks.pub/physicalgeography/chapter/4-3/
