Activity 2.1: Finding an epicenter using triangulation. An earthquake was recorded at Station A, B, C as shown on the map. Station A reported that the epicenter of the earthquake was 1500 km from the station. Station B reported a distance of 3500 km. Station C reported a distance of 5000 km. Using a ruler, compass, and the scale 1 cm = 1000 km, label the epicenter of the earthquake on this map.
Objectives: Explain the triangulation method in locating the epicenter of earthquakes. Locate the earthquake epicenter using the triangulation method. Improve the communication skills of the students.
