Ms. Hartnett's Earth Science Calculating Earthquake Times Vocabulary Origin Time – the time that the earthquake began. Origin Time = Arrival Time - Travel Time Focus – the location deep within the Earth where the earthquake actually happened. Epicenter – the location on the Earth’s surface above where the earthquake happened. This where the earthquake is felt the strongest. Ms. Hartnett's Earth Science

Ms. Hartnett's Earth Science Seismic Wave – the energy that is released by an earthquake. This energy travels through the ground in the form of a wave. There are 3 types of seismic waves: P-Wave – Primary Wave – Compressional Wave: A wave that makes the ground vibrate in the same direction that the wave travels. S-Wave – Secondary Wave – Shear Wave: A wave that makes the ground vibrate at right angles to the direction that the wave travels. 3. Surface Waves – Both P and S waves that reach and travel along the Earth’s surface to cause damage. As time passes, seismic waves actually speed up. Ms. Hartnett's Earth Science

Ms. Hartnett's Earth Science P-Wave S-Wave Ms. Hartnett's Earth Science

Ms. Hartnett's Earth Science Facts about waves P- waves These waves travel much faster than the other waves. These waves always arrive first after an earthquake. These waves can pass through solids, liquids, and gases. S-waves These waves travel the slowest of all of the waves. These waves always arrive second, which is why they are called secondary waves. These waves can only pass through solids. Ms. Hartnett's Earth Science

Ms. Hartnett's Earth Science A shadow zone is a place on the Earth’s surface where no seismic waves are received. Ms. Hartnett's Earth Science

Ms. Hartnett's Earth Science To calculate the distance to an epicenter: Calculate the DIFFERENCE in arrival times between the P and S waves. S-P 2. Place a sheet of paper along the Travel Time axis. 3. On this paper, mark a small dot at the time zero and another at the time corresponding to the difference you calculated in step 1. The distance between the two dots represents the difference in arrival times of the P and S waves. 4. Keeping the lower dot on the lower graph line, slide the paper to the right until the upper dot touches the upper graph line. KEEP THE PAPER STRAIGHT UP AND DOWN. 5. Read straight down to the x-axis and estimate the epicenter distance. Ms. Hartnett's Earth Science
