The distance from the earthquake to the observation point is estimated using the arrival time difference of the P-wave and S-wave information needed to determine the distance from the focus of an earthquake to the seismic receiving station.

The distance from the epicenter of an earthquake to the seismic station is determined by the time difference between the first arrival of the P and S waves. This is known as the S-P interval.

Requires triangulation to determine the exact location. Three seismometers are required. A circle is drawn from each of the three different seismometer sites, with the radius of each circle equal to the distance from that seismic receiving station to the epicenter.

What is the K-T extinction event? What caused it? What was the result? Question 26 enozoic Era begins and ends? This era is know

kramer

Answer:

The K-T extinction event is the global mass extinction that has taken place about some 65 million years back due to the asteroidal impact. This mass extinction event has wiped almost 75% of the plants and animal species from the earth's surface. The dinosaurs were extinct and very animal species have survived and undergone evolution in due course of time.|

The Cenozoic era started after the K-T mass extinction event, i.e from about 65 million years to the present.

Thus, the Cenozoic era is also known as the age of mammals because mammal were more abundant and diverse then. Many flowering plants evolved during this time and the earth experienced global cooling.
