Assume an unsaturated air parcel located at sea level (0 meters) in the SacramentoValley has an initial air temperature of 17°C and a specific humidity of 4kg H2O/kg air.The prevailing westerlies are forcing the air parcel eastward towards the western slopeof the Sierras.a. Calculate the relative humidity and the dew point temperature of the air parcelat 0 meters.
Seismogram A (New York, NY): The time difference between the P-wave and S-wave arrival is approximately 5 minutes, roughly 2000 kilometers.Seismogram B (Nome, Alaska): The time difference between the P-wave and S-wave arrival is approximately 6 minutes, roughly 2900 kilometers.Seismogram C (Mexico City, Mexico): The time difference between the P-wave and S-wave arrival is approximately 4 minutes, roughly 1500 kilometers. Use Figure 4.6 and a drafting compass to draw a circle around each of the three stations. Make the radius (in miles) of each circle equal to the station's distance from the epicenter as determined above. (Use the scale on the map to set the radius on the drafting compass.) The circles you draw should intersect at approximately one point. This point is the epicenter. If they do not intersect at one point, find a point that is equidistant from the edges of the three circles and use this as the epicenter. Label the epicenter on the map.
Please write the final report in detail with all the components.
