Approximately how long does an earthquake p-wave take to travel the first 6500 kilometers after the earthquake occurs?
P-waves travel at speeds between 5 to 8 km/s, as such a P-wave may take between 812 and 1300 seconds (13 and 22 minutes respectively) to travel 6500 km. Please see the related question on P-wave velocity.
How long would it take a P wave to travel 8000 Km from an earthquake epicenter?
A P wave typically travels at around 6-8 km/s through the Earth's interior. Therefore, it would take approximately 1000-1333 seconds (or 16-22 minutes) for a P wave to travel 8000 km from an earthquake epicenter.
How far does a secondary wave travel in 10 minutes?
Secondary waves, also known as S-waves, travel at about 3.7 km/s through the Earth's crust and mantle. In 10 minutes, a secondary wave would travel approximately 22,200 kilometers.
How long does wave a take to reach a station?
The time it takes for wave A to reach a station depends on the distance between the source of the wave and the station, as well as the speed of the wave. Generally, this can range from a fraction of a second to several minutes for seismic waves, for example.
Which of the following is NOT a body wave of an earthquake?
*sigh* Don't just copy and paste the questions....your answer is "Surface Wave"
How long does it take a s wave to travel 5000km?
about 1 hour. (nahsee)
How long does it take an S wave to travel km?
An S-wave travels at 3.5 kilometers per second. If you have an S-wave traveling 6000 kilometers, it would take 1.7seconds.
How long would it take for the first s-wave to arrive at a seismic station 4000 kilometers away from the epicenter of an earthquake?
It would take approximately 22 minutes for the first s-wave to arrive at a seismic station 4000 kilometers away from the epicenter of an earthquake. S-waves travel at an average speed of about 3.5 kilometers per second through the Earth's crust and mantle.
How long would it take a wave to travel SW from Brittany buoy to the Isle of Wight?
9,000 miles
How long does it take a wave to travel 2000 km?
In a solid such as rock, the primary wave can travel at 5 km/sec; it would take 400 seconds, or about 6.7 minutes to travel 2,000 km. If traveling through water, the wave travels at about 1.45 km/sec and would need 1,379 seconds (23 minutes) to travel 2,000 km.
How long will it take for the Wave to arrive at a seismic station 4000 kilometers away from the epicenter of an earthquake?
S-waves will take 31 seconds P-waves will take 8 minutes
How long does it take for a sound wave to travel through 3000 m of water?
Sound travels at approximately 1500 m/s in water. So, it would take about 2 seconds for a sound wave to travel through 3000 m of water.
How long does it take for a sound wave to travel through 300 meters of water?
The speed of sound in water is approximately 1500 m/s. Therefore, it would take approximately 0.2 seconds for a sound wave to travel through 300 meters of water.
How long will it take the wave to travel 480km?
I believe you should review the speed of the wave the medium through which it is traveling and whether or not you have already been given all the information you need to answer.
How long does an earthquake p-wave take to travel the first 6500 kilometers after the earthquake occurs?
P-waves travel at speeds between 5 to 8 km/s, as such a P-wave may take between 812 and 1300 seconds (13 and 22 minutes respectively) to travel 6500 km. Please see the related question on P-wave velocity.
How long will it take a wave to travel 5000km?
That depends a lot on the speed. Assume any appropriate speed, then divide the distance by the speed.
How long would it take for a primary wave to travel from San Francisco California to Reno Nevada?
A primary wave (P-wave) can travel at an average speed of about 6 km/s through the Earth's crust. The distance between San Francisco, California, and Reno, Nevada, is approximately 350 km. Therefore, it would take around 58 seconds for a primary wave to travel from San Francisco to Reno.
