how do seismologists measure earthquakes?
a. by the depth of the focus
b. in terms of the number of p - waves
c. by the circumference of the epicenter
d. in terms of energy released

Explanation:

Seismologists measure earthquakes in terms of the energy they release, often using magnitude scales like the Richter scale or moment - magnitude scale which are related to the energy released during the seismic event. The depth of the focus, number of P - waves, and circumference of the epicenter are not the primary ways to measure earthquakes.

Answer:

D. In terms of energy released
