Pand s waves from an earthquake travel at different speeds, and this difference locate the earthquake "epicenter" (where the disturbance took place), (a) assuming typical speeds of 8.5km/s and 5.5km/s for p and s waves, respectively, how far away did the earthquake occur if a particular seismic station detects the arrival of these two tvnes of waves

Which statements concerning how geologists locate an earthquake’s epicenter are accurate? check all that apply.geologists use seismic waves to locate the center of an earthquake.the epicenter of an earthquake is located at the same place as the seismograph.geologists use data from two data stations to determine the location of an earthquake.geologists use data from three or more data stations to determine the location of the epicenter.a seismograph measures the difference between the arrivals of p waves and s waves.

Describe how scientists can locate the epicenter of an earthquake. the answer is: seismologist use the seismic waves produced by an earthquake to locate the epicenter. because p waves travel through the earth at different speeds than s waves, seismologist can determine the distance from their station that an earthquake has occurred. once that is determined, a circle is drawn around the seismograph on a map at that distance. this information is combined with information from two other locations. the epicenter of the earthquake is located where all three circles meet.

Pand s waves from an earthquake travel at different speeds, and this difference in locating the earthquake âepicenterâ (where the disturbance took place). (a) if an earthquake occurs and these two waves arrive at a particular seismic station with the p wave 2.0 min ahead of the s wave, then how far away was the earthquake? assume typical speeds of 8.5 km/s and 5.5 km/s for p and s waves, respectively.
