The statement which describes the location of an earthquake’s epicenter is: D. It is located at the point where circles intersect on a map.

An earthquake can be defined as a sudden, natural shaking of the ground, as a result of movements within the Earth's crust and upper mantle (lithosphere) that typically creates seismic waves.

A seismograph refers to an instrument that is designed and developed for detecting, monitoring and recording the direction, duration and magnitude (intensity) of an earthquake in a geographical location on planet Earth.

An epicenter is the point on the surface of planet Earth, which is perpendicular to the hypocenter (focus) and it indicates where the seismic waves from an earthquake are most intense.

On a map, an earthquake’s epicenter is located at the point where the three (3) circles intersect because earthquake are generally shallow.

Some material consisting of a collection of microscopic objects is kept at a high temperature. a photon detector capable of detecting photon energies from infrared through ultraviolet observes photons emitted with energies of 0.3 ev, 0.5 ev, 0.8 ev, 2.0ev, 2.5ev, and 2.8ev. these are the only photon energies observed. (a) draw and label a possible energy-level diagram for one of the microscopic objects, which has four bound states. on the diagram, indicate the transitions corresponding to the emitted photons. explain briefly. (b) would a spring–mass model be a good model for these microscopic objects? why or why not? (c) the material is now cooled down to a very low temperature, and the photon detector stops detecting photon emissions. next, a beam of light with a continuous range of energies from infrared through ultraviolet shines on the material, and the photon detector observes the beam of light after it passes through the material. what photon energies in this beam of light are observed to be significantly reduced in intensity (“dark absorption lines”)? explain briefly.
