Epicenter Questions and Answers

In class we had to answer a couple if questions about the earthquakes epicenter. These are the questions and answers.

1. Observe the 3 circles you have drawn. Where is the earthquake's epicenter? I think that the epicenter of all the earthquakes is in Frankfort.
2. Which city on the map is closest to the earthquake's epicenter? How far, in kilometers, is the city from the epicenter? The closest city to the epicenter on the map of the whole earthquake is  more probably Nashville. It is roughly 110 kilometers far.
3. In which of the 3 cities listed in the data table would seismographs detect the earthquake first? Last? The first one it would detect would be Chicago however the last earthquake would probably be close to Denver, and the second one would be somewhere around New Orleans.
4. About how far from San Francisco is the epicenter that you found? What would the difference be in arrival times of the P waves and S waves for a recording station in San Francisco. The difference in arrival times between P and S waves would probably be around 2,900 kilometers. The Primary waves would arrive first, with secondary waves following.
5. What happens to the differenct in arrival times between P and S waves as the distnace from the earthquake increases? When the distance from the earthquake increases that means there will be more time between the S and P waves
