63. In 2003, an earthquake in Japan generated 1.1 Hz waves INT that traveled outward at 7.0 km/s. 200 km to the west, seismic instruments recorded a maximum acceleration of 0.25g along the east-west axis. a. How much time elapsed between the earthquake and the first detection of the waves? b. Was this a transverse or a longitudinal wave? c. What was the wavelength? d. What was the maximum horizontal displacement of the ground as the wave passed?
