Suppose that recording station n is located 200 km north of the epicenter of an earthquake, and recording station s is located 100 km south of the epicenter of the same earthquake. which of the following statements would be true?
a. at recording station s, the s wave would arrive before the p wave.
b. the p wave would arrive at recording station n before it would arrive at recording station s.
c. the value of t at recording station n would be greater than t at recording station s.
d. the value of t at recording station n would be less than tat recording station s.

The answer is:

c.The value of T at Recording Station N would be greater than T at Recording Station S.

The explanation:

- when we talk about the relation between the Time (T) and the distance (d) at constant velocity , we will find that The time (T) is directly proportional with the distance (d) .

- and when the distance to the epicenter of the earthquake for station N is 200 Km and the distance to the epicenter of the same earthquake for station S is 100 Km So, the value of the time T at recording station N would be greater than the Time T at Recording Station S.
