Answer: Earthquake Analysis. Earthquakes produce several
Chapter 2, Problem 2.57(choose chapter or problem)
Earthquake Analysis. Earthquakes produce several types of shock waves. The most well known are the P-waves (P for primary or pressure) and the S-waves (S for secondary or shear). In the earths crust, P-waves travel at about 6.5 km>s and S-waves move at about 3.5 km>s. The time delay between the arrival of these two waves at a seismic recording station tells geologists how far away an earthquake occurred. If the time delay is 33 s, how far from the seismic station did the earthquake occur?
