How far from an earthquake epicenter is a city where the difference between the p-waves and s-wave arrival times is 6 minutes and 20 seconds?
Just multiply the S-minus-P (S-P) time, in seconds, by the factor 8 km/s to get the approximate distance in kilometers. So for 6 minutes 20 seconds, or 380 seconds, it's 3,040 km away! ChaCha!
