Question 1
A seismo station records the arrival time of P-waves at 2 seconds and S-waves at 6 seconds. If the seismic velocity of P-waves is 6 km/s, what is the hypocentral distance from the station?
💡 Hint: Remember the formula for distance is speed multiplied by time.
Question 2
Discuss how delays in P-wave arrival could affect seismic safety alerts. What systems could mitigate this risk?
💡 Hint: Think about advancements in technology to improve current systems.
