Distance from epicenter?
According to the chart, this earthquake's epicenter was 215 kilometers away. Measure the amplitude of the strongest wave. The amplitude is the height (on paper) of the strongest wave. On this seismogram, the amplitude is 23 millimeters.
What are short term affects on earthquakes?
Assuming you are some distance from the epicenter, the first effect will be a side to side motion of the ground. That wave is called the P-wave. The last wave to arrive is the rolling type, similar to waves on the occean's surface, known as a Raleigh Wave.
Seismic P-wave can be detected worldwide from strong epicenter?
true
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.
Are p and s waves produced at the epicenter?
Primary (P) waves : Primary waves, the fastest wave sent , come from the focus not the epicenter. (S) waves : Secondary waves, the second fastest wave sent out by an earthquake, it comes from the focus also.
Which type of wave causes the ground to shake in a motion parallel to the focus moving straight away from the epicenter?
p-wave
Why does the time between the arrival of the P wave and the S wave become greater and greater as you get farther away from the epicenter?
It is because the epicenter decreases their strenght as it is closer to it
What type of wave is created if a student ties a rope on a doorknob and pulls the other end and flips the rope up and down?
A stationary transverse wave would be created.

What type of wave would the kink in a lasso make?
The type of wave the kink in a lasso would make is "longitudianl".
How long would it take a P wave to travel 8000 Km from an earthquake epicenter?
10 min. I es sure you this is correct I have done the math.
Scientists on the side of Earth opposite the epicenter of an earthquake detect mainly?
p wave
What kind of wave does light have?
I would rather say that light IS a wave, not that it HAS a wave. It is a type of electromagnetic wave.
