Answer: The tidal forces exerted by the moon are directly associated with the earth's rotation. Due to the strong gravitational pull of the moon, the tidal bulging appears on both the sides on earth and these are region of high tide, and there is gradual rise and fall of sea level.
Because of these tidal effect, the earth is able to rotate only once in each of the orbital period.
The time taken for the first p-wave to reach the same seismic station is approximately 13 minutes.
<h3>Time of travel of the P-wave</h3>
In rock, S waves generally travel about 60% the speed of P waves, and the S wave always arrives after the P wave.
<h3>Relationship between speed and time</h3>
v ∝ 1/t
v₁t₁ = v₂t₂
t₁/t₂ = v₂/v₁
t₁/t₂ = 0.6v₁/v₁
t₁/t₂ = 0.6
t₁ = 0.6t₂
t₁ = 0.6 x 22 mins
t₁ = 13.2 mins
Thus, the time taken for the first p-wave to reach the same seismic station is approximately 13 minutes.
