2 Objective:  Determine how the Hawaiian islands formed and determine the location of an earthquake using p and s wave data Agenda:  P and S Wave notes  P and S Wave worksheet  Hawaii Video  Start Lab 10: Hawaii Hot Spot  Homework:  Test Wednesday 10/5/11

3  Time-distance graph showing the average travel times for P- and S- waves.  The farther away a seismograph is from the focus of an earthquake, the longer the interval between the arrivals of the P- and S- waves

4  Three seismograph stations are needed to locate the epicenter of an earthquake  The intersection of the circles locates the epicenter
