Use Figure 4.4 to determine the difference in arrival times, in minutes, between the first P wave and first S wavefor stations that are the following distances from an epicenter:1000 mi:4000 km:5.53000 mi:On the seismogram in Figure 4.2, you determined the difference in the arrival times between the first P waves andthe first S waves to be 5 minutes. Use Figure 4.2 and the travel-time graph in Figure 4.4 to complete the following.3. What is the distance between the epicenter and the station for the earthquake recorded on the seismogram inFigure 4.2, in miles and kilometers?21003500mikmminminminExercise Four / Earthquakes and Earth's Interior 674. For the earthquake recorded in Figure 4.2, about how long did it take the first P wave to reach the station: 3, 6,or 14 minutes? (Hint: use the P-wave curve in the time-travel graph in Figure 4.4 to answer this question).The first P wave arrivedminutes after the earthquake began.CTIVITY 4.2Bocating an Earthquake5. If the first P wave was recorded at 10:39 Y.Y. local time at the station in Figure 4.2, what was the local time at theepicenter when the earthquake began. (Hint: The earthquake began at the epicenter.)Y.Y. local timegure 4.5 shows seismograms for the same earthquake recorded at three locations-New York; Nome, Alaska;nd Mexico City. Use this information to complete the following.Use Figure 4.5 and the travel-time graph in Figure 4.4to determine the distance between each station andthe epicenter.
