105. • An earthquake requires three monitoring stations to determine it‟s location.

106. • An earthquake requires three monitoring stations to determine it‟s location. P and S waves travel at known velocities through the earth. S waves are slower than P waves by a known amount.

107. • An earthquake requires three monitoring stations to determine it‟s location. P and S waves travel at known velocities through the earth. S waves are slower than P waves by a known amount. Therefore, the farther a seismic recording station is from the earthquake epicenter the greater the difference in time of arrival between the P and S wave.

124. S and P interval

146. • Activity! S and P Gap. – Have two students line up next to each other against the wall. – Label one as the fast walker (P-wave) and one as the slow walker (S-wave “Side to Side Macho Man”) – Each students begins walking across room at same time and various students (monitoring stations) time the gap between the two students as they walk by. – Start timer when P-wave passes, and end when S-wave arrives. – Have the monitor stations share times.
