Secondary waves, also known as S-waves, travel at about 3.7 km/s through the Earth's crust and mantle. In 10 minutes, a secondary wave would travel approximately 22,200 kilometers.

You need to multiply the speed of the wave by the time. You may also need to convert the units, to make them compatible. For instance, if the speed of the wave is expressed in meters per second, you would need to convert the minutes to seconds.

A P wave typically travels at around 6-8 km/s through the Earth's interior. Therefore, it would take approximately 1000-1333 seconds (or 16-22 minutes) for a P wave to travel 8000 km from an earthquake epicenter.
The speed of S-Waves in the Earth's crust is about 4-8 km/s. In 10 minutes, an S-Wave can travel a distance of approximately 24-48 kilometers.

a P wave, under the right conditions of course, can up to 12 parsecs in 10 minutes.
The fields are at right angles to each other and to the direction of the wave.
