What is the difference between a bathymetric profile and a seismic reading?

the difference between a bathymetric profile and a seismic reading is that a bathymetric has salt water and is located on the benthic zone on the ocean floor. The seismic reading on the other hand occurs on land shore and with living animals like turtles and crabs.

How is the distance between a seismic station and the earthquake epicenter is determined?

The distance between a seismic station and the earthquake epicenter is determined from the S-P interval, which is the time difference between the time of arrival of the first P wave and the first S wave.

Which earthquake waves are the first to be recorded on a seismometer and are the fastest?

P-waves which are a compression or pressure wave are the fastest seismic waves. As they are the fastest they will reach the seismic station before any of the other seismic waves and be recorded first. Seismologists can use the difference between the arrival times of different seismic waves to calculate the distance and ultimately the location of the earthquakes epicentre. For information on this, please see the related question.
