This document describes manual methods for approximating the location and origin time of an earthquake using seismic wave data from multiple seismic stations. The earliest station method uses the first station to detect waves to estimate the epicenter location. Contouring P-wave arrival times can provide a better estimate if the network is dense. The arc or circle method uses S-P arrival time differences from three or more stations to estimate epicenter location and hypocenter depth. Plotting S-P time differences against P-wave arrival times on a Wadati diagram allows determining the earthquake origin time from the intercept of the best-fit line with the P-arrival time axis.
