- Epicentre
- Station that recorded the event
Arrival times at the stations
Each station first records the P wave, the fastest, then the S wave. The farther a station is from the epicentre, the later the waves reach it and the wider the gap between the two.
- Stations

- Epicentral distance
- 150.4 – 267.0km
