CM-Earthquake+Graphs

LIGO CM- I believe that this earthquake, shown by the large spike in the graph below, happened this morning in Northern California. When I went to the U.S. Geological Survey’s website, I found out that an earthquake happened in California at around 14:55 UTC. This graph, however, shows this earthquake happening at around 15:55, about one hour later. This happens because the LIGO station is located in Hanford, about one thousand miles away from California. Therefore, it would take longer for these earthquake waves to be registered so far away. I figure that this distance would have delayed the results about an hour, which is what the graph below shows. That is why I have a pretty good idea that this is the graph of the Northern California earthquake. The graph below shows the activity of the Seismic x waves. Some Other Statistics that I Found About this Earthquake: Magnitude: 2.6 Date-Time: Monday, October 01, 2007 at 14:55:49 UTC Location: 38.824°N, 122.796°W Depth: 2.1 km Region: Northern California Source: U.S. Geological Survey website

This graph shows the Seismic z waves.
