Analyzing Seismic Waves

P & S Waves

• x. Do P & S Wave Demonstration: • x. Students are waves and stations.• x. P wave is two steps per second. • x. S wave is one step per second.• x. Stations record time for waves to arrive.

• x. Develop lag time concept.

• x. 1 s lag time is 12.5 km. (12.5 km/s)
