A p-wave arrives at 3:00:00 and the s-wave arrives at 3:07:20, what is the exact distance that the seismic station is away from
1 answer:
The exact distance from the seismic station to the epicenter is 6000 km.
<h3>Epicenter of earthquake</h3>The earthquake's epicenter is the point above the fault location on the earth's surface.
Given that:
A p-wave arrives at 3:00:00 and the s-wave arrives at 3:07:20.
Difference in arrival time = 3:07:20 - 3:00:00 = 7 minutes 20 seconds
From the earthquake time travel graph, a time difference of 7 min 20 sec is at x = 6
The exact distance from the seismic station to the epicenter is 6000 km.
