Question
Chapter 6.2A, Problem 2A
Summary Introduction
The difference in arrival times, in minutes, between the first P wave and first S wave for stations that are the following distances from an epicenter 1000 miles, 4000 kilometers, and 3000 miles.
Introduction:
The waves are classified based on particle motion. The two classified waves are P and S waves. Both waves have high amplitude and great depth.
