Learning Task 4

1. We can use the formula TD = d × t / 100 km

TD = d × t / 100 km

      = ( 4000 km × 8 s ) / 100 km

     = 32000 km /s / 100 km

     = 320 seconds

The first s-wave will arrived in 320 seconds after the arrival of the first p-wave

An epicenter station is 5,600 km away, how long after the first P-wave did the first S-wave arrive?

Answer:

TD = d × t / 100 km

      =  ( 5600 km × 8 s ) / 100 km

    = 44800 km /s / 100 km

     = 448 seconds

It takes 448 seconds for the first s-wave to arrive

2. The formula of determining the distance of Earthquake epicenter from the seismic station is ( d = TD /
8 s × 100 km )

TD ( Time difference in the arrival of P-wave and S-wave )

Given Data:

d ( distance ) = 5600 km

t ( time constant ) = 8 seconds

TD ( Time difference ) = ? unknown

Solution:

we can use the formula (TD = d × 8 s / 100 km ) in order to solve the time difference in the arrival of P-wave
and S-wave.

TD = d × 8 s / 100 km

     =  5600 km × 8 s / 100 km

     = 44,800 km·s / 100 km

     = 448 seconds

Answer:

It would take 448 seconds after the first p-wave the first s-wave will arrived.

3. P-wave will travel approximately from 5-8 km/s. Let's just take the average of 7 km/s as our speed of p-
wave in computing this problem.

total time is (6 minutes is equal to 360 seconds + 40 s = 400 seconds )

Given Data:

t ( time ) = 400 seconds

s ( speed ) = 7 km/s

d ( distance ) = unknown

Solution:

d=s×t

 = 7 km/s × 400 s

 = 2800 km

4. s-wave can travel in 1-8 km/s. Lets just say that it travels in 4 km/s

Given Data:

t ( time ) = 400 seconds

s ( speed ) = 4 km/s

d ( distance ) = unknown

Solution:

d=s×t

 = 4 km/s × 400 s

= 1600 km

Learning Task 5

Descriptions
A. Earthquake Epicenter The epicenter is the point on the earth's surface vertically above
the hypocenter (or focus), point in the crust where a seismic
rupture begins.
B. Active Volcano An active volcano is a volcano that has had at least one eruption
during the past 10,000 years. An active volcano might be erupting
or dormant. A dormant volcano is an active volcano that is not
erupting, but supposed to erupt again.
C. Mountain Ranges A mountain range or hill range is a series of mountains or hills
ranged in a line and connected by high ground. ... Mountain ranges
are usually segmented by highlands or mountain passes and
valleys. Individual mountains within the same mountain range do
not necessarily have the same geologic structure or petrology.

Learning Task 7

1. A. Volcanoes – Pacific Ocean, West Cost of America, East Cost of Siberia, Japan. Philippines
B. Earthquake Epicenters –
C. Mountain Ranges – South America, Asia,

2. Most earthquakes and volcanoes occur because of the movement of the plates, especially as plates
interact at their edges or boundaries. At diverging plate boundaries, earthquakes occur as the plates
pull away from each other. ... Instead, the two plates have a head-on collision - building a mountain
range.

According to the theory of plate tectonics, Earth is an active planet. Its surface is composed of many
individual plates that move and interact, constantly changing and reshaping Earth's outer layer.
Volcanoes and earthquakes both result from the movement of tectonic plates.

3. Places have active volcanoes, earthquake epicenters, and mountain ranges because they are in the
proximity of the so-called 'ring of fire'.

The Ring of Fire is the world's largest and most active fault line. The Ring of Fire is a ring of volcanoes
and seismic activity, or earthquakes, that circles the Pacific Ocean. Approximately 90% of all
earthquakes occur along the Ring of Fire, and the ring contains 75% of all active volcanoes on Earth.

The Pacific Ring of Fire encompasses 15 additional countries, including Indonesia, New Zealand, Papua
New Guinea, the Philippines, Japan, the United States, Chile, Canada, Guatemala, Russia, and Peru,
among others.
