Assuming p and s-waves traveled through the crust at 6 km/s and 3 km/s, respectively, estimate the epicentral location (latitude and longitude) of the hypothetical earthquake whose characteristic are given in the below table.SeismographLocation InformationLatitude Longitude p-wave arrival time s-wave arrival time37 deg 22' 30" 121 deg 52' 30" 06:11:18.93 06:11:26.9037 deg 45' 00" 122 deg 20' 00" 06:11:14.84 06:11:18.7137 deg 52' 33" 121 deg 43' 38" 06:11:17.26 06:11:23.53Note: To solve the above problem you need to convert latitude and longitude to distance and vice versa. For this location in California, the following relations are approximately true:Latitude pd = 360 deg for d = 12720 km then 1 deg = 111 kmLongitude: At latitude = 37.5 deg., then 1 deg = (111 km) cos 37.5 deg = 88 km5.
