Identified earthquakes LIGO data Home

The quake reported as occurring on 1/4/06 at 08:32:32.40, at 28.1640 -112.1170 was detected in the LIGO data. code 2006/01/04 08:32:32.40 28.1640 -112.1170  14.00  6.60   Mw  323          1.25  NEI 200601044021 code

Here's the LIGO plots:

- Its distance from LIGO was **2133.71 km** (x). I found this by using the google maps measurement tool.

- The quakes inception was at 08:32:32.40 and using the same equations as before...

(2133.71 km/ 1) X (1 sec./ 4 km) = 533.4275 ... Here the waves are traveling 3-5 kilometers per second since it is over land so I averaged 4.

(533.4275 sec./ 1) X (1 min./ 60 sec.) = **8.895** min. (y)

- The speed the earthquake traveled was

2133.71 km/8.895 min. = **239.877** km/min. or **3.998** km/sec.

- These are plausible wave speeds, based upon this [|site].
