Answer:
c.The value of T at Recording Station N would be greater than T at Recording Station S.
Explanation:
We can deduce from the information provided that the value of T at recording station N would be greater than T at recording station S.
This problem relates distance with time.
Speed =
Distance = Speed x time
- Just like any other physical quantity, speed of a substance is directly related to time.
- The larger the time taken the farther the distance it will cover assuming the velocity is constant.
- Earthquake waves for example moves at constant speed with a unique velocity in earth materials.
- The farther the distance, the more time it will take to reach the seismic recording station.
- Since N is a distance of 200km from the epicenter, it will take a greater time and have a higher reading of T to reach the station.
