The exact distance from the seismic station to the epicenter is 6000 km.
Epicenter of earthquake
The earthquake's epicenter is the point above the fault location on the earth's surface.
Given that:
A p-wave arrives at 3:00:00 and the s-wave arrives at 3:07:20.
Difference in arrival time = 3:07:20 - 3:00:00 = 7 minutes 20 seconds
From the earthquake time travel graph, a time difference of 7 min 20 sec is at x = 6
The exact distance from the seismic station to the epicenter is 6000 km.
