Which of the following can be determined by knowing only the arrival time of both P-and S- waves at a single recording station?
liquids
P-waves
are thought to be mostly composed of iron and nickel
increase
the distance to the epicenter
called the mantle
is about 5 to 60 kilometers
vibrate perpendicular to the the direction of travel (or side to side)
The portion of the Earth that is just below the crust is
liquids
P-waves

increase
the distance to the epicenter
called the mantle
is about 5 to 60 kilometers
vibrate perpendicular to the the direction of travel (or side to side)
As the distance from an earthquake epicenter increases, the time between P-wave arrival and S-wave arrival will
