Is it true that the closer an earthquake the greater the time difference between the arrival of P-waves and the arrival of S-waves?
False. The closer you are to the epicentre, the smaller the time difference between the arrival of P and S-waves.
What is the difference between s and p wave?
As P-waves travel at a higher velocity than S-waves they arrive at a seismometer station before the S-waves. The difference between their arrival time can be used to calculate the distance from the seismometer station to the epicentre.
What is the difference Between S waves P waves?
P-waves are faster than s-waves. Both can pass through solid rock, but only p-waves can pass through gases and liquids === ===
When do p and s waves arrive at the same time?
No, the primary (P) waves arrive first.
How much faster does p waves move than s waves?
P-waves move around 3 km/s faster than s-waves.
Is it true that the closer an earthquake the greater the time difference between the arrival of P-waves and the arrival of S-waves?
False. The closer you are to the epicentre, the smaller the time difference between the arrival of P and S-waves.
What time between the arrival of p and s waves?
lga ietm
What is the difference between p and s waves arrival time?
As P-waves travel at a higher velocity than S-waves they arrive at a seismometer station before the S-waves. The difference between their arrival time can be used to calculate the distance from the seismometer station to the epicentre.
What are the similarities between P-waves and S-waves?
They are waves.
The distance between a seismological recording station and the earthquake source is determined from the what?
The distance between a seismological recording station and the earthquake source is determined from the arrival time of P and the S waves. P waves are faster than S waves and surface waves.
The distance between a seismological recording station and the earthquake source is determined from the?
The distance between a seismological recording station and the earthquake source is determined from the arrival time of P and the S waves. P waves are faster than S waves and surface waves.
Is it true or false that the closer an earthquake the greater the time between the arrival of P waves and the arrival of S waves?
true
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
What is the difference between s and p wave?
As P-waves travel at a higher velocity than S-waves they arrive at a seismometer station before the S-waves. The difference between their arrival time can be used to calculate the distance from the seismometer station to the epicentre.
What is the difference Between S waves P waves?
P-waves are faster than s-waves. Both can pass through solid rock, but only p-waves can pass through gases and liquids === ===
The distance between a seismic station and the earthquake epicenter is determined from the?
The difference in arrival times of P and S waves.
What are similarities between S-waves P-waves and surface waves?
they start at a earthquake.
