Locating an Epicenter Model Answers for Analyze and Conclude
... 1. Of the three cities listed in the data table, the seismographs in Denver would have detected the earthquake first. Because Denver is the closest of the three, the seismic waves would reach it first, then Seattle, then Houston. You can see this on the map, but you can also tell by looking at the d ...

Seismic modeling study of the Earth`s deep crust
... We also consider the values provided by Rudnick and Fountain (1995). Our calculations agree with the gravity model proposed by Larocchi et al. (1998). The mesh has 1200 × 720 points, with a grid spacing of 72 m. To avoid wraparound, absorbing strips 40 gridpoints long are implemented at the boundari ...
