Regents Epicenter practice

If the first P-wave arrived at seismic station A at

10hrs:22min:30sec, what was the origin time for the

earthquake?

If it takes 50 seconds for the P-wave to arrive at Buffalo, how long would it take for the S-wave from this same earthquake to arrive at Buffalo? [Refer to the Earth Science Reference Tables.]

What is the approximate distance between the earthquake's

epicenter and station A? [Refer to the Earth Science

Reference Tables.]

Which seismic station could be located in New York State?

Which of the four seismic stations is located farthest from

the epicenter?

A seismograph station records a difference in arrival time

between the S- and P-wave of 4 minutes. About how far

away is the earthquake epicenter? [Refer to the Earth

Science Reference Tables.]

Which graph best represents the relationship between the

differences in arrival times of P-waves and S-waves for

locations at varying distances from an earthquake?

A P-wave reaches a seismograph station 2,600 kilometers

from an earthquake epicenter at 12:10 p.m. According to the

Earth Science Reference Tables, at what time did the

earthquake occur?

An earthquake occurred at 5:00:00 a.m. According to the

Earth Science Reference Tables, at what time would the

P-wave reach a seismic station 3,000 kilometers from the

epicenter?

The epicenter of an earthquake is located near Massena,

New York. According to the Earth Science Reference

Tables, the greatest difference in arrival times of the P- and

S-waves for this earthquake would be recorded in
