Finding the Distance to the Epicenter

Use the time difference between the arrival of the P and S waves to estimate the distance from the earthquake to the station. (From Bolt, 1978.) Measure the distance between the first P wave and the first S wave. In this case, the first P and S waves are 24 seconds apart.
