Travel-time curves for P-, S-, and surface waves with a set of traces from 17 different seismographs at various distances from the epicenter of the magnitude- 7.1 Ayutla-Puebla earthquake of September 19, 2017. The seismograms illustrate how the curves can be derived using empirical data. B. Travel-time curves for use within ~1000 km of an epicenter. This graph is used in Activity 11.3. Notice that an S-minus-P time of 70 seconds corresponds to a distance to the epicenter of approximately 667 km.
