What role does the S-P interval play in locating an earthquake epicenter?

Geography

Amanda [17]3 years ago

<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.

Given directed line segment KM , find the coordinates of L such that the ratio
poizon [28]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

The question is not complete, the coordinates of K and M are not given. Let us assume The coordinates are at K(1, -6) and M(9,-2)  

Answer: If a line segment AB with coordinates at (x_1,y_1)\ and\ (x_2,y_2) is divided by a point O(x, y) in the ratio n:m, the coordinates of point O is given by the formula:

x=\frac{n}{n+m}(x_2-x_1)+x_1 \\\\y=\frac{n}{n+m}(y_2-y_1)+y_1

K(1, -6) and M(9,-2)  are divided in ratio 1:3 by point L. Let us assume L is at (x,y), hence the coordinate of point L is given as:

x=\frac{n}{n+m}(x_2-x_1)+x_1=\frac{1}{1+3}(9-1)+1=\frac{1}{4}(8)+1=3   \\\\y=\frac{n}{n+m}(y_2-y_1)+y_1=\frac{1}{1+3}(-2-(-6))+(-6)=\frac{1}{4} (4)-6=-5

Point L is at (3, -5)
