It is because the epicenter decreases their strenght as it is closer to it

The P-wave travels faster than the S-wave.

The P-wave travels faster than the S-wave.

∙ 13y agoP-waves travel more quickly through the earth than S-waves. The further the waves have to travel, the more the S-waves lag behind.
Wiki User
∙ 16y agoIt's because a p wave is the fastest wave out of the three waves

Describe what happens along a fault beneath earths surace when an earthquake occurs?
the tectonic plates start to collide which causes shearing, so the epicenter is forces to move farther down the path of the fault.
What happens to the distance between the crests when the amplitude is increased?
Nothing happens. Distance between crests is a measure of frequency; amplitude is a measure of the strength, the height of the wave, or auditory volume of the signal.
What happens to the distance in arrival times between P waves and S waves as the distance for the earthquake increases?
surface waves
What happens to your weight as you get farther from the center of earth?
As you get farther from the center of Earth, your weight willDECREASE
What happens to the distance between molecules as the temperature increases?
Temperature is an indirect measurement of a system's molecule's average kinetic energy (KE). As the temperature of a system increases, so does the KE of the molecules. This causes the molecules to move farther apart. You can see this most easily in an old (not digital) thermometer.
What happens to the distance between each planet the farther they get away from the sun?
It increases.
What happens to the lag time as the distance from the epicenter increases?
It Also Increases
What happens to the lag time as distance from the epicenter increases?
It Also Increases
What happens to the distance electrons travel when voltage is changed?
Electrons will travel farther distances at a lower voltage.
Describe what happens along a fault beneath earths surace when an earthquake occurs?
the tectonic plates start to collide which causes shearing, so the epicenter is forces to move farther down the path of the fault.
The point at which the earthquake happens below the ground?
Epicenter.
Where and when earthquakes happened in India?
it mostly happens in epicenter of the india it happens because of pollution.
When space objects move farther apart what happens to the gravity between them?
Theoreticly, it gets weaker.
What is the differents between the epicenter and the focus?
The focus is below ground that is where the earth quake happens. The epicenter is above because that is where it is located
What happens to the gravitational force between objects getting farther away A. it increases B. it decreases?
Decreases.
What happens to seismic waves as they travel out from the epicenter?
They get weaker as they travel out from the epicentre
What happens to the distance between the crests when the amplitude is increased?
Nothing happens. Distance between crests is a measure of frequency; amplitude is a measure of the strength, the height of the wave, or auditory volume of the signal.
