The longer the time between the arrival of the P-wave and S-wave, the <u>farther away</u> is the epicenter.

<h3>What is epicenter and the relation between P-wave and S-wave?</h3>
  • The point on the earth's surface vertically above the hypocenter (or focus), point in the crust where a seismic rupture begins is said to be epicenter.
  • There are two types of waves during earthquakes, they are:
  1. P - wave
  2. S - wave
  • Each seismograph records the times when the first (P waves) and second (S waves) seismic waves arrive.
  • From the graph, through the information, scientists can determine how fast the waves are traveling.
  • The longer the time between the arrival of the P-wave and S-wave, the farther away is the epicenter.

Hence, Option B is the correct answer.
