How long does it take S waves to travel 3000 km?

10 minutes

How far will P waves travel in 11 minutes 20 seconds?

8000 km

A seismic station is 4000 km from the epicenter of an earthquake. How long after P waves arrive will the S waves arrive at the

same station?

5 minutes 40 seconds

It takes P waves 11 minutes and 20 seconds to travel from the epicenter of an earthquake to a seismic station. How long

will it take S waves from the same earthquake to reach that seismic station?

20 minutes and 40 seconds

S waves from an earthquake arrive at a seismic station at 2:15:20 PM. If the

seismic station is located 2000 km from the epicenter, at what time did the

earthquake occur?

2:08:00 PM

What is the difference in arrival time between P and S

waves at a distance of 2600 km from an epicenter?

4 minutes

As the distance from an epicenter increases, the

difference in arrival time between P & S waves ...........

Increases

An earthquake occurs at 3:30:00 AM. At what time will S waves arrive at a seismic

station located 6500 km from the epicenter of the quake?

3:48:00 AM

The difference in arrival times between P and S waves is 5 minutes and 20 seconds. How far from the

epicenter is the seismic station located?

3600 km

The difference in arrival times between P & S waves is 7 minutes

and 20 seconds. If the P waves arrived at the station at 6:45:00 PM,

at what time did the earthquake occur?

6:36:00 PM

describe the area in the diagram

where "No waves" are recorded?

Shadow Zone

The location inside the earth where the earthquake actually

occurs is called the........

Focus

receive P waves

but no S waves?

S waves cannot travel through the liquid outer core
