In the Earth Science Reference Tables (you can find them at google), on pg 11 on the bottom where there's the Earthquake Travel Time Graph, on the y-axis, what does each box equal? like for the x-axis, each box between 1 and 2, and 2 and 3 is 200 km, what what about the boxes on the y-axis?
never mind, I got it..does it take a P-wave about 5 minutes 40 seconds to travel 3000 km?
To determine what each box on the y-axis of the Earthquake Travel Time Graph represents, we can refer to the Earth Science Reference Tables. However, as an AI text-based model, I do not have direct access to external sources such as the Earth Science Reference Tables on Google. Nevertheless, I can provide you with a general explanation of how you can find the information you are looking for.
1. Open a web browser and navigate to the Earth Science Reference Tables by searching for them on an accessible website or by visiting official Earth Science education websites.
2. Look for the Earthquake Travel Time Graph within the reference tables. It is typically found in the section that discusses seismic waves or earthquakes.
3. Once you have located the graph, focus on the y-axis, which represents the travel time of seismic waves.
4. Look for a corresponding key or label that defines the units used for the y-axis. It might state the measurement (e.g., seconds, minutes) or provide a scale that allows you to determine the value represented by each box.
By following these steps and referring to the Earth Science Reference Tables directly, you should be able to find the specific information you are looking for.
