Purdue University: An S and P Wave Travel Time Simulation

Curated by ACT

A classroom simulation modeling how earthquake waves travel through Earth at different speeds. A graph is constructed to demonstrate the relationship between the distance and time of travel of seismic waves, and then used to locate the epicenter of an earthquake by a process called triangulation.
