The most helpful seismic information for determining the epicenter of an earthquake is the amount of time between when a P-wave and an S-wave arrive at several areas. This time difference is used to calculate the distance from each seismic station to the epicenter. By collecting this information from at least three different seismic stations, scientists can triangulate the epicenter's location.
What seismic information would be most helpful in allowing scientists to determine where the epicenter of an earthquake is?(1 point) Responses the direction from which surface waves arrive at several areas the direction from which surface waves arrive at several areas the number of surface waves that arrive each minute at several areas the number of surface waves that arrive each minute at several areas the amount of time between when a p-wave and an s-wave arrive at several areas the amount of time between when a p-wave and an s-wave arrive at several areas the difference in strength between the p-waves and the s-waves at several areas
