Question

Pls help me answer number 2 and 3 with complete solution

Procedure: Study the data showing the difference in the arrival time of P-wave and S-wave on three seismic recording stations. Time difforence in the Recording Station Distance of opicentor from the station (km) arrival timo of P-wave and S-wave (seconds Samar 32 Zamboanga del Norte Occidental Mindoro 36 40 1. Compute the distance of the epicenter from each of the stations using this formula: d time difference x 100 km 8 seconds where: d= distance (km) td = time difference in the arrival time of P-wave and S-wave (seconds) This formula is suited because 8 seconds is the interval between the times of arrival of the P-wave and S-wave at a distance of 100 km. 2. Choose one of the recording stations and measure the computed distance on the scale (the scale of the map is 1 cm: 100 km). Set your compass for that computed distance. Center your compass on the station you have chosen. Draw a circle. 3.Repeat steps 3 and 4 for the rest of the stations. You should get three circles that intersect or nearly intersect at a point. This intersection is the epicenter. 4. Analyze the computed data from the table by determining the pattem shown and explain how arithmetic sequence is applied. Write it in a paragraph form.
