P-waves travel between 5-8 km/s. As such the epicentre could be anywhere between 1200 and 1920 km away.

How can be determined the earthquake epicenter from seismic waves?
The simplified answer is that it works much in the same way you would determine the source of a sound (which is also in waves). Multiple measurements of the intensity are taken from different locations are used to triangulate an earthquake.
The point on the surface directly above where the earthquake occurs is?
