How do you figure out the distance of an epicenter?
The distance of an epicenter from a seismograph station can determined by the time it takes for the seismic waves to reach each station. You need at least 3 seismic stations to record the event to determine this. The time taken for each seismic station to resisted the event will be different as they are different distances from the epicenter. The distance to the epicenter can then be calculated for each station and a epicenter can be determined by a triangulation from all stations that have registered the event.
When the distance to the epicenter increases how does the amount by which the s waves lags behind the p wave change?
As the distance to the epicenter increases, the time difference between the arrival of P and S waves also increases. This is because S waves travel at a slower speed than P waves and take longer to reach a seismograph station. The lag between the two waves can be used to determine the distance to the earthquake epicenter.
Can s-p time method be used with one seismograph station to locate the epicenter of and earthquake?
No, the S-P time method requires data from at least three seismograph stations to triangulate the epicenter of an earthquake. With only one station, it is not possible to accurately determine the epicenter.
What is the fewest number of seismographic stations that must record the arrival time of P and S waves in order for the epicenter of an earthquake to be located?
At a minimum, three seismographic stations are needed to triangulate the epicenter of an earthquake. By comparing the arrival times of P and S waves at each station, the distance from each station to the epicenter can be determined. The intersection of these circles of possible epicenter locations from each station narrows down the epicenter's location.
What is the distance of a station from the epicenter if the s-p lag time is measured to be 35.5 seconds?
The distance of a station from the epicenter can be calculated using the formula: Distance (in kilometers) = (s-p lag time in seconds) × 8, where the 8 represents the speed of seismic waves. So, if the s-p lag time is 35.5 seconds, the distance from the epicenter would be 35.5 × 8 = 284 kilometers.
If you want hard yolk poached eggs do you cook longer or shorter time?
Longer.
Do plants make candles last for a shorter amount of time?
longer time
Can you hold your breath for a longer or shorter time after exercising?
Shorter because you have less oxygen circulating your body
What happens to the lag time as distance from the epicenter increases?
It Also Increases
The effects of nerve messages last a far longer time than do those of hormone?
shorter not longer
Why don't Arizona and Hawaii observe Daylight Saving Time?
they don't want to because they want longer days and shorter nights.or longer nights and shorter days
Why were the spears so long?
Because it can go a further distance in a shorter time.
Is a year longer or shorter on Venus?
Shorter because its orbit is smaller and its takes less time to complete its round around sun
Do the days get shorter at the same time every year?
Yes. Same goes for longer.
Effects of the invention of the automobile?
People get to travel longer distances in shorter amount of time.
What does it mean to travel at 60 miles per hour?
It means that if you travel for an hour you will have covered a distance of 60 miles. If you travel for a longer or shorter time you will cover a proportionally longer or shorter distance.
Would Jupiter have a longer or shorter year than earth?
It would have a longer year, because it is further away from the Sun, and so would take a longer time to orbit it. A year is dictated by how long we take to orbit the Sun. Yes and in fact Jupiter takes about 11.9 Earth years to orbit the Sun.
