    This document provides instructions for a learning task to find the epicenter of an earthquake using data from three recording stations. Students are asked to print a map of the Philippines and mark the locations of the stations in red, black, and blue. They are given a table with the time differences between the arrivals of the P and S waves at each station and the distance of the epicenter from each station. They are then instructed to use the time differences to calculate the distance to the epicenter for each station and convert it to a scale on the map.

    PRINT THIS ON A SHORT BOND PAPER

    Red – Occidental Mindoro


    Black – Samar
    Blue – Zamboanga del Norte
    (PRINT this at the back of the Philippine Map)
    B/G _____ SCIENCE 10
    _______________________________ October 12-16, 2020
    G10 – _________________ Week 2
    Learning Task 1 : Find the Epicenter
    Recording Station Time Difference in Distance of epicenter Computed Distance
    the Arrival of P-wave from the station (km) Scale
    and S-wave (100 km = 1 cm)
    Occidental Mindoro 40 500 km 5 cm
    Samar 32
    Zamboanga del Norte 36

    For Occidental Mindoro


    A. In Finding the Distance of Epicenter from the Station (km)
    d = time difference x 100 km
    8s
    d = 40 s x 100 km d = 4000 km
    8s 8
    d = 500 km
    B. In Finding the Computed Distance Scale in cm

    = 500 km x 1 cm = 500 cm
    100 km 100
    The computed distance scale in cm = 5 cm

    For Samar

    For Zamboanga del Norte
