Question

Examine the three seismograms. They were recorded by three different stations during the same earthquake. They all have the same x-axis and y-axis scales. Based on what you have learned about wave amplitudes and s–p intervals, assign the seismograms relative distances to the epicenter using the labels to the right.

Answer 1

Using the waves amplitude, the relative distances of the seismograms have been listed below:

• The first seismogram : intermediate distance
• The second seismogram: farthest distance from the epicenter
• The third seismogram: closest distance from the epicenter.

What is a seismograph?

This is a device or instrument that is very useful for the measurement and the recording of earthquakes.

This device is known to do this through the responses that they give to the shaking of the ground and noises it makes.
