1. How long does it take a P-wave to travel 4,000 km?


2. How long does it take an S-wave to travel 4,000 km?

4. How long does it take an S-wave to travel 8,000 km?
5. How far can an S-wave travel in 9 minutes?
6. How far can a P-wave travel in 9 minutes?
7. How far can an S-wave travel in 6 minutes 40 seconds?
8. How far can a P-wave travel in 6 minutes 40 seconds?
9. If an earthquake occurs at [Link], what time did the P-wave arrive at a seismic station 2,600 km away?
10. If an earthquake occurs at [Link], what time did the S-wave arrive at a seismic station 9,000 km away?
11. If a P-wave arrives at a station 8,000 km away at [Link], what time did the earthquake originate?
12. If an S-wave arrives at a station 4,400 km away at [Link], what time did the earthquake originate?
13. An epicenter station is 5,000 km away. How long after the first P-wave did the first S-wave arrive?
14. An epicenter station is 7,600 km away. How long after the first P-wave did the first S-wave arrive?
15. A P-wave arrived at a seismic station 3,200 km away at [Link]. What time did the first S-wave arrive at this station?
16. A P-wave arrived at a seismic station 4,000 km away at [Link]. What time did the first S-wave arrive at this station?
17. An S-wave arrived at a seismic station 6,200 km away at [Link]. What time did the first P-wave arrive at this station?
18. An S-wave arrived at a seismic station 1,400 km away at [Link]. What time did the first P-wave arrive at this station?
19. The first P-wave arrived at a seismic station at [Link]. The first S-wave arrived at the same seismic station at [Link].
How far is this seismic station from the epicenter?
20. The first P-wave arrived at a seismic station at [Link]. The first S-wave arrived at the same seismic station at [Link].
How far is this seismic station from the epicenter?

Part II: Use the Epicenter Data Table to locate the epicenter.
