Answer:
To calculate distance, you measure the difference in waves as they arrive.
To determine location, you find the point of intersection.
Explanation:
This single disturbance sends out both transverse and longitudinal waves and since both waves have different speeds.
To determine the distance:
You measure the time difference in the waves as they arrive. If the difference in time is large then the distance is larger.
To determine the location of the disturbance:
If you were to call two people from different locations who have made measurements of this same event on a telephone call. Their circles can be transferred to your map. The location of the disturbance can then be determined by the point of intersection of the 3 circles.
Measure the difference in waves as they arrive and find the point of intersection.
As the single distance sends the longitude waves at one known speed, and the transverse wave at a lesser is known speed, you can measure the difference in the time of wave arrival and can calculate that distance.
The more wide is the gap in time more greater is the distance that could be in any direction. On using this distance as the r of a circle on the map, you know the disturbance occurred somewhere on the circle.
