Calculations: || 10772.38km X (1/5km) X (1/60 sec) = 35.90793 min || 10772.38km X (1/3km) X (1/60 sec) = 59.8465 min || Date Time Lat Lon Depth Mag Magt Nst Gap Clo RMS SRC Event ID || 2005/12/12 21:47:46.07 36.3570 71.0930 224.60 6.50 Mw 529 0.81 NEI 200512124051 || Distance from earthquake to LIGO: 10772.38 km || P waves: 35.90793 min || S waves: 59.8465 min || Explanation: The earthquake was detected at 21:47:46.07 on December 12th. My calculation predicted that it would take the P waves about 36 min to reach LIGO and about 60 min for the S waves to arrive at LIGO. The spike on the graph shows that the earthquake was detected at about 22:20:00. ||
