Locating an Epicenter
This Earthquake's Seismograms are Below
Use these three seismograms to estimate the S-P time interval for each of the recording stations. Record your measurement for the S-P interval in the box below each seismogram.
Chichuahua Seismic Station S-P Interval = seconds
Mazatlan Seismic Station S-P Interval = seconds
Rosarito Seismic Station S-P Interval = seconds
Find the distance using the lag time vs. distance graph.
