An epicenter station is4,000 km away. How long after the the first wave did the first wave arrive?

Sagot :

The first wave appear after 320 seconds and after the arrival of P wave

We can use the formula TD = d × t / 100 km

TD = d × t / 100 km

= ( 4000 km × 8 s ) / 100 km

= 32000 km /s / 100 km

= 320 seconds

The first s-wave will arrived in 320 seconds after the arrival of the first p-wave

The earliest waves to reach a seismograph are known as P waves, or primary waves. The fastest seismic waves, known as P waves, can pass through solid, liquid, or gas. On the medium they travel through, they leave a trail of compressions and rarefactions

The second waves to arrive during an earthquake are called S waves, or secondary waves. They can only pass through solids and are substantially slower than P waves
