<u>ANSWER:</u>

The time difference between the 'first S wave' and the 'first P wave' helps in determining the distance of the 'seismic station' from the epicenter.

<u>EXPLANATION:</u>

  • This S-P interval can be used to calculate the 'magnitude of the earthquake' once it is used to determine 'how many millimeters the ground moves' at the seismic station.
  • This measurement can be done when the distance between the epicenter and the seismic station is known.
  • The S-P interval helps to know the actual distance and thereby by plotting the time interval and the distance, the 'magnitude of the earthquake' at the epicenter can be known.
