Approximately how far is an observer from and earthquake epicenter if he or she observed a p wave 8 minutes after the earthquake?
14,4oo km away. i think. check calculations to be sure.
The epicenter of the greatest us earthquake was in what state?
The Good Friday Earthquake on March 27, 1964 had its epicenter near Prince Wiliam Sound, Alaska. It lasted about 5 minutes, and caused 131 deaths, but it may not be true.This earthquake was the 4th most powerful earthquake ever recorded, and the most powerful earthquake to have an epicenter in the United States.
Did we just have an earthquake in Tooele Utah about 30 minutes ago?
The last earthquake listed on the USGS website for (near) Tooele Utah occurred on April 20, 2014. See http://comcat.cr.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/uu60065467#summaryfor real time reports and updates. On their website, individuals can also report under "Did you feel it".
If the lag time between the arrival of the P waves and the S waves is 5 minutes what is the distance to the epicenter?
4,000 kilometers

When will the first p wave be received if an earthquake epicenter is approximately 1800 kilometers from the seismic station?
3.5 minutes after the earthquake.
How long would it take for the first s-wave to arrive at a seismic station 4000 kilometers away from the epicenter of an earthquake?
12 minutes and 40 seconds
If a P-wave arrives 4 minutes after an earthquake occurs at the epicenter how far is the epicenter?
P-waves travel between 5-8 km/s. As such the epicentre could be anywhere between 1200 and 1920 km away.
How many seconds does an earthquake last?
The duration of an earthquake can vary widely, from just a few seconds to several minutes, depending on factors such as the magnitude of the quake, the depth of the earthquake's focus, and the distance from the epicenter. Generally, most earthquakes last for around 10-30 seconds.
How long will it take for the Wave to arrive at a seismic station 4000 kilometers away from the epicenter of an earthquake?
S-waves will take 31 seconds P-waves will take 8 minutes
What time was the earthquake in japan on the 11 march 2011?

How long did it take 1960 Chile tsunami to reach Hawaii?
Ten Minutes in whole- which is pretty long for an earthquake as the one in 1989 lasted only fifteen seconds- and that was on the Richter scale about 7.1. The aftermath lasted a lot longer than ten minutes though, Valdivia still hasn't fully recovered from its "earthquake" shock.
The first s-wave arrive at a seismograph station 11 minutes after an earthquake occurred how long after the arrival of the first p-wave did the first s-wave arrive?
The P-wave generally arrives before the S-wave during an earthquake. The time difference between them can help determine the distance to the earthquake's epicenter. In this case, if the S-wave arrived 11 minutes after the earthquake, you would need to calculate the time difference between the arrival of the P-wave and the S-wave to determine how long after the P-wave arrival the S-wave arrived.
How many minutes did the Japan earthquake last?
Approximately 33 minutes.
