A.) A quick way to determine the distance from a location to the origin of a seismic wave less than 200 km away is to take the difference in arrival time of the P wave and the S wave in seconds and multiply by 8 kilometers per second.

When seismic data is collected from at least three different locations, it can be used to determine the epicenter by where it intersects.
