Answer:

b) Gulf Stream winds

Explanation:

The Gulf Stream wind is a powerful ocean current that joins the Atlantic Ocean with warm water from the Gulf of Mexico. This reaches all the way up the United States to Canada's eastern coast. A large system of circular currents and strong winds called an oceanic gyre, causes the Gulf Stream. Earth has five oceanic gyres. The Gulf Stream is part of the Subtropical Gyre in the North Atlantic.

P and S waves from an earthquake travel at different speeds, and this difference helps locate the earthquake "epicenter" (where
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

(a) Since both P and S wave travels the same distance, so it can be written as:    Δx = V₁t₁ = V₂t₂,

Where, V₁- Speed of S wave

            V₂- Speed of P wave

            t₁- time taken by S wave

            t₂- time taken by P wave

Therefore, t₁ > t₂ (since, time taken by S wave is longer than P wave)

⇒ t₁ = t₂ + 1.5 min

⇒ t₁ = t₂ + 90 sec

⇒ V₁ (t₂ + 90 sec) = V₂ (t₂)

⇒ V₁t₂ + V₁ (90 sec) = V₂ (t₂)

⇒ V₂t₂ - V₁t₂ = V₁ (90 sec)

⇒ t₂ (V₂- V₁) = V₁ (90 sec)

⇒ t₂ = {V₁ (90 sec)} ÷ {(V₂- V₁)}

⇒ t₂ = {5.5 × (90 sec)} ÷ {(8.5 - 5.5)}

Therefore, t₂ = 165 sec

Since, Δx = V₁t₁ = V₂t₂

Now, Δx = V₂t₂ = (8.5 × 165 sec)

⇒ Δx = 1402 km

Therefore, Δx is approximately 1400 km (this means that the earthquake occurred at a distance of about 1400 km from the recorded seismic station)

(b) No, Only seismic station is not sufficient to detect the epicenter of an earthquake. Seismologists and geologists usually use the triangulation method in order to determine the exact location of the epicenter. This is possible by the use of three seismographs that are placed at three different locations nearby to that earthquake occurring position.
