The longer the time between the arrival of the P-wave and S-wave, the farther away is the epicenter.
What is epicenter and the relation between P-wave and S-wave?
- The point on the earth's surface vertically above the hypocenter (or focus), point in the crust where a seismic rupture begins is said to be epicenter.
- There are two types of waves during earthquakes, they are:
- P - wave
- S - wave
- Each seismograph records the times when the first (P waves) and second (S waves) seismic waves arrive.
- From the graph, through the information, scientists can determine how fast the waves are traveling.
- The longer the time between the arrival of the P-wave and S-wave, the farther away is the epicenter.
Hence, Option B is the correct answer.
