1 How far from an earthquake epicenter is an observer who measured a difference of 8 min 40 s in the arrival times of P and S waves class=

Respuesta :

I think the answer is 34.2

The observer who measured the difference of 8 min 40 s in the arrival times of P and S waves is like 4,800 km away.

We can determine the distance to the earthquake epicenter by   using the time difference between the arrival of the P and S waves to estimate the distance from the earthquake to the station.

Hence, the observer who measured the difference of 8 min 40 s in the arrival times of P and S waves is like 4,800 km away.
