GGNAT2 marksNeeds review
The difference in arrival times of P- and S-waves generated by an earthquake and recorded at a seismological station is one second. Assuming a homogeneous and isotropic Earth, a P-wave velocity (Vₚ) of 3 km/s, the ratio of P- to S-wave velocities (Vₚ/Vₛ) of 2.0, the distance between the station and the hypocenter is __________ km. [round off to 1 decimal place]
