Suppose that recording station N located 200 km north of the epicenter of an earthquake, and recording station S is located 100 on south of the epicenter of the same earthquake. Which of the following statements would be true

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

Explanation:

We can deduce from the information provided that the value of T at recording station N would be greater than T at recording station S.

This problem relates distance with time.

       Speed  =

                  Distance  = Speed x time

Just like any other physical quantity, speed of a substance is directly related to time. The larger the time taken the farther the distance it will cover assuming the velocity is constant. Earthquake waves for example moves at constant speed with a unique velocity in earth materials. The farther the distance, the more time it will take to reach the seismic recording station. Since N is a distance of 200km from the epicenter, it will take a greater time and have a higher reading of T to reach the station.
