What waves will arrive at a seismograph station first after an earthquake?
P waves arrive first at a seismograph station after an earthquake. The P waves are followed by S waves, and then surface waves.
One seismograph station by itself can determine the?
distance to the epicenter
What is an instrument used to measure and record ground movements during an earthquake?
earthquakes are measured by seismic waves so scientists use a seismograph. there are a bunch of seismographs at a station and each one records the same stuff according to the p, s, and surface waves.
What measures Earth's vibrations?

Which instrument does not belong in this group anemometer barometer thermometer and seismograph?
It is Seismograph!.!
What order does the seismograph arrive at the seismograph station?
First
Which seismic wave arrives last at a seismograph station?
The first waves to arrive at a seismograph station are primary waves, or P waves.
What waves will arrive at a seismograph station first after an earthquake?
P waves arrive first at a seismograph station after an earthquake. The P waves are followed by S waves, and then surface waves.
One seismograph station by itself can determine the?
distance to the epicenter
Can scientist calculate the distance from the seismograph station to the focus?
Yes

Which seismograph station would have recorded P-waves last?
ok
What type of waves reach a seismograph station first p of s?
P
How many seismograph-station readings are needed to pinpoint the epicenter of an earthquake?
Three
What types of waves are the first waves to reach seismograph stations?
P-waves are the first seismic waves to arrive at a seismograph station.
What is the minimum number of seismograph station required to determine the location of an earthquake epicenter?
56
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.
