Preliminary damage reports from Ashtabula indicated cracked plaster and masonry, walls bowed or moved, items knocked off shelves, and a ruptured natural gas line that resulted in the evacuation of some residents. Graphs a to c represent three seismograms from the events as recorded at Ashtabula, Lakeland, and Cleveland. Cleveland was farthest from the earthquake epicenter and Ashtabula was closest. Review the seismograms and complete the statements to evaluate your ability to analyze this scenario. consistent Cleveland aren't Ashtabula D are Lakeland C Relative amplitudes of the P and Swaves with this interpretation Based on the answers above, seismogram "e" was from a location near Based on the difference in compressional and shear wave arrival times, seismogram "a" must be from The least difference in body wave arrival times occurs for seismogram The difference in P and S wave arrival times suggest seismogram "b was recorded at The difference in P wave versus S wave arrival times is largest on seismogram
