Follow the procedures indicated in the activity before answering the questions. "Determining the Arrival Times between P-wave and S-wave" Procedure: a) Line up the ruler or a piece of scrap paper vertically on the epicenter distance given. b) Mark the locations where the P-wave and S-wave intersect your ruler or scrap paper. c) Line up the ruler or scrap paper on the y-axis with one point on the 0 minute mark. d) The second mark will indicate the difference in arrival time. Given: Distance of epicentre from the station (km) 1. 500 km 2. 400 km 3. 450 km Note: Please plot the points legibly in the image "given graph" attached. Also, state the difference of arrival time on p-wave and s-wave.
