3. Earthquake warning system A typical earthquake produces two types of seismic waves. P ("primary" seismic waves are longitudinal waves that move through the earth's upper crust with speed anywhere from 3 km/s to 5 km/s (the exact speed depends on the local composition of the earth's crust). S ("secondary") waves are transverse waves that move slower than P waves. The S-wave speed is typically about 60% less than the P-wave speed in any given material. The map below shows...

Earthquakes at fault lines in Earth's crust create seismic waves, which are longitudinal (P-waves) or transverse (S-waves). The P-waves have a speed of about 7 km/s. Estimate the average bulk modulus of Earth's crust given that the density of rock is about 2500 kg/m3. Pa

When an earthquake occurs, two types of sound waves are generated and travel through the earth. The primary, or P, wave has a speed of about 8.0 km/s and the secondary, or S, wave has a speed of about 4.5 km/s. A seismograph, located some distance away, records the arrival of the P wave and then, 117 s later, records the arrival of the S wave. Assuming that the waves travel in a straight line, how far (in terms of...

002 10.0 points Earthquakes produce two kinds of seismic waves: he longitudinal primary waves (called P waves) and the transverse secondary waves (called S waves). Both S waves and P waves travel through Earth's crust and mantle, but at different speeds; the P waves are always faster than the S waves, but their exact speeds depend on depth and location. For the pur- pose of this exercise, we assume the P wave's speed to be 8380 m/s while the S...

Earthquakes generate sound waves inside Earth. Unlike a gas, Earth can experience both transverse (S) and longitudinal (P) sound waves. Typically, the speed of S waves is about 4.5 km/s, and that of P waves 8.0 km/s. A seismo- graph records P and S waves from an earthquake. The first P waves arrive 3.0 min before the first S waves. If the waves travel in a straight line, how far away does the earthquake occur?

Chapter 17, Problem 005 Earthquakes generate sound waves inside Earth. Unlike a gas, Earth can experience both transverse (S) and longitudinal (P) sound waves. Typically, the speed of S waves is about 4.14 km/s, and that of P waves 7.84 km/s. A seismograph records P and S waves from an earthquake. The first P waves arrive 1.87 min before the first S waves. If the waves travel in a straight line, how far away does the earthquake occur?

Question 6 (3 points) An earthquake emits both S-waves and P-waves which travel at different speeds through the earth. An S-wave travels at 5000 m/s and a P-wave travels at 9000 m/s. If S-waves are received at a seismic station one minute after a P-wave arrives, then how far away is the earthquake center? 88.9 km 240 km 480 km 675 km 1200 km

2.) A tsunami is produced by massive and sudden movements of large masses of earth crust under ocean water. Most notably in recent years, a tsunami was produced by a major earthquake very close to the east coast of Japan. The tsunami struck the main islands of Japan with a very short time interval after the earthquake. The tsunami moved radially out from the epicenter of the earthquake in all directions and eventually had reached the west coast of the...

Suppose that p- and s-waves traveled in straight lines through the Earth (in fact, they don't, but we will make this approximation for this problem). Also suppose that the angular distance from the epicenter (location of the earthquake) on the Earth's spherical surface to the location on the surface beyond which no s-waves can be observed from an earthquake (the angle between the earthquake epicenter and the s shadow zone) is 120 degrees (i.e., the two points are located 1/3...

3. [5 marks] The diagram to the right shows the paths that body waves would take to travel from the source to a series of seismic stations, A through G, if the Earth'so interior was homogeneous. Suppose that the seven seismic stations are spaced at equal distances apart on the Earth's surface and that the angle, ?, is equal to 90 degrees. If the source emits a P-wave at time zero, calculate the time taken for the wave to reach...
