actually no. the p waves gets subtracted from the s wave. remener promary comes before secondary waves!
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.
To determine how long an S wave took to travel from the epicenter to a specific location, you need to know the distance from the epicenter to that location and the average speed of S waves, which is approximately 3.5 to 4.5 kilometers per second. By using the formula time = distance/speed, you can calculate the travel time. For example, if the epicenter is 70 kilometers away, the S wave would take about 15 to 20 seconds to reach that location.
No, the point directly above the focus of an earthquake is called the epicenter. The S wave is one of the types of seismic waves that are generated during an earthquake and move slower than the P wave.
This is true; a seismic wave weakens the farther it travels, and thus has lower intensity.
To determine which recording station was closest to the epicenter of the earthquake, you would typically analyze the arrival times of the seismic waves recorded at each station. The station with the shortest time interval between the arrival of the primary (P) wave and the secondary (S) wave would be the closest to the epicenter. If you have specific data points or seismograms, you can calculate the distance based on these wave arrivals.
They first collect several seismogram tracings of the same earthquake from different locations. Then the seismograms are placed on a time distance graph. The seismogram tracing of the first p wave is lined up with the p wave time distance curve. The difference from each station from the earth quake can be found by reading the horizontal axis. After finding out the distance, a seismologist can locate an earthquake's epicenter.
It is because the epicenter decreases their strenght as it is closer to it
P-waves (Primary) and S-waves (Secondary). Using the difference in time between the arrival of P- and S-waves, you can then determine the distance from the epicenter. Once you've determined the distance from the epicenter of three different stations, you'll be able to triangulate the epicenter (the point where all three circles cross).

The first step in this method is to collect several seismograms of the same earthquake from different locations. Then, the seismograms are placed on a time-distance graph. The seismogram tracing of the first P wave is lined up with the P-wave time-distance curve, and the tracing of the first S wave is lined up with the S-wave curve.The distance of each station from the earthquake can be found by reading the horizontal axis.

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.
No, the point directly above the focus of an earthquake is called the epicenter. The S wave is one of the types of seismic waves that are generated during an earthquake and move slower than the P wave.
This is true; a seismic wave weakens the farther it travels, and thus has lower intensity.
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.
