Reflection on epicenter lab

Guiding Question: How can you locate a earthquakes epicenter?

Hypothesis: The epicenter should be at Kansas city, because it is in between all of the affected cities. 

Denver, Colorado: 2 minutes and 40 seconds :  1600 KM away from the epicenter 

Huston, Texas: 1 minute and 50 seconds : 1000 KM away from the epicenter 

Chicago, Illinois: 1 minute 10 seconds: 600 KM away from the epicenter 

Using the seismic wave arrival times we calculated the distance of the city from the epicenter. Then we drew circles the diameter of the distance
