Warm Up Look up and explain why some people in the picture to the right feel both P and S waves and why others only experience one type of wave.

Daily Objective SWBAT explain how the release of energy of various types of earthquakes relates to magnitude, and P and S waves. Fix this slide show

P WAVES P waves (primary waves) are compression waves. They push (compress) and pull (expand) in the direction that the wave is traveling. These move really fast! They arrive first, but cause the least damage.

P-Wave Demonstration BUY A SLINKY

S WAVES S waves (secondary waves) move in right angles and are slower than P waves. They arrive second, and cause a moderate amount of damage.

S Wave Demonstration BUY ROPE

SURFACE WAVES Travel along the earth’s surface. Love waves move side to side. (Bottom left picture.) Raleigh waves move up, down, and around. (Bottom right picture.)

Surface vs Body Wave comparison Which causes more damage? Explain. Which wave moves slower?

WHAT THIS LOOKS LIKE IN REAL LIFE Surface Wave P-Wave S-Wave Draw the diagram in your notes.

S-P Time Method Method used to determine the location of the epicenter of an Earthquake. 3 seismograph readings are needed to determine the epicenters location.

HOW SCIENTISTS USE THIS SCENARIO 1: A P Wave arrives at the seismograph station 3 minutes after an earthquake. An S Wave arrives 8 minutes after an earthquake. What is the difference in arrival time? Answer 1 ___________________ SCENARIO 2: At 10:32 a P Wave arrives. At 10:45 and S Wave arrives. What is the difference in arrival time? Answer 2 _______________________

P Wave = _____________________ S Wave = _____________________ 3:00 3:02 3:04 3:06 3:08 3:10 3:12 3:14 3:16 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 SCENARIO 3: P Wave = _____________________ S Wave = _____________________ Answer = ______________________

SCENARIO 4: P Wave = _____________________ S Wave = _____________________

SCENARIO #5 Determine the difference in the travel-times between the first P wave and the first S wave, if the seismic station is 1000 kilometers from the epicenter. Read the problem and box in key words. Identify the information on the axis. Plot your points to find data. ________________________ Subtract your data. __________ - __________ = _________

SCENARIO #6 Determine the difference in the travel-times between the first P wave and the first S wave, if the seismic station is 500 miles from the epicenter. Read the problem and box in key words. Identify the information on the axis. Plot your points to find data. ________________________ Subtract your data. __________ - __________ = _________

SCENARIO #7 Determine the difference in the travel-times between the first P wave and the first S wave, if the seismic station is 2,000 miles from the epicenter. Read the problem and box in key words. Identify the information on the axis. Plot your points to find data. ________________________ Subtract your data. __________ - __________ = _________

SCENARIO #8 According to Figure 8-1, what is the distance between the seismic station and an earthquake epicenter, if the first S wave arrives 6.5 minutes after the first P wave? Read the problem and box in key words. Count the intervals between the lines. When you have found one close to your boxed in words, plot your points to find data. Subtract your data. __________ - __________ = _________

SCENARIO #9 According to Figure 8-1, what is the distance between the seismic station and an earthquake epicenter, if the first S wave arrives 2.0 minutes after the first P wave? Read the problem and box in key words. Count the intervals between the lines. When you have found one close to your boxed in words, plot your points to find data. Subtract your data. __________ - __________ = _________

SCENARIO #10 According to Figure 8-1, what is the distance between the seismic station and an earthquake epicenter, if the first S wave arrives 4.0 minutes after the first P wave? Read the problem and box in key words. Count the intervals between the lines. When you have found one close to your boxed in words, plot your points to find data. Subtract your data. __________ - __________ = _________
