Distance from the epicenter affects the S-P interval because seismic waves travel at different speeds through different materials. The farther away from the epicenter, the longer it takes for the seismic waves to arrive, which increases the S-P interval.

What is the centre of an earthquake called?

The point within the Earth where an earthquake originates is called the focus or hypocenter. The point on the Earth's surface directly above the focus is known as the epicenter.


How do you measure an S-P interval?

To measure the S-P interval, you would first identify the onset of the S wave and the onset of the subsequent P wave on an electrocardiogram (ECG) tracing. Then, you would determine the time interval between these two points, typically using calipers or measuring tools available on ECG machines. The S-P interval represents the time it takes for electrical stimuli to travel from the AV node to the Purkinje fibers in the heart.


What is the SP time method?

It is a method used by seismologists to find the epicentre of an earthquake based on the difference in arrival times of P and S seismic waves as recorded at seismometer stations. For more information on the method used, please see the related question.


What is the softwood whose timber is Brazil's chief forest product?

The softwood most commonly harvested in Brazil is the pine tree (Pinus sp.). This timber is widely used for construction, furniture, and paper production in the country.


What is the name of the hybrid orbitals used by sulfur in SCl2?

The name of the hybrid orbitals used by sulfur in SCl2 is sp^3. Valence bond theory predicts that SCl2 will have two single bonds and two lone pair of electrons on the central sulfur atom. This is exactly what you will see if you draw the Lewis dot structure.

Can the SP time method be used with one seismograph station to locate the epicenter of an earthquake?

No. One seismograph station will only allow you to calculate the distance to the earthquake's focus. (The epicentre is on the surface above.) To find its exact location you need the recordings from at least 3 seismograph stations.For more information on the SP time method, please see the related question.

What is the typical overall stopping distance at 40mph?

120ft.I discovered a formula for calculating it for any given speed. I've tested it for 20mph, 30mph,40mph,50mph,60mph and 70mph. The formula is as follows:overall stopping distance in ft = Sp x (1 + Sp/20).Where Sp is the magnitude of the speed in mph.So at 40mph it is:40 x (1 + 40/20) = 50 x (1 + 2) = 40 x 3 = 120ft.
