The city of Guildhall experienced two earthquakes within a 1-month interval. The first earthquake was magnitude 2; the second earthquake was magnitude 7. How do the speed of the S-waves from the magnitude 2 earthquake compare to the speed of the S-waves from the magnitude 7 earthquake (magnitude 2 compared to 7)?

How do the speed of the S-waves from the magnitude 2 earthquake compare to the speed of the S-waves from the magnitude 7 earthquake (magnitude 2 compared to 7)?

  • Magnitude 2 S-waves are faster than magnitude 7 S-waves.
  • Magnitude 2 S-waves are slower than magnitude 7 S-waves.
  • Magnitude 2 S-waves are the same speed as magnitude 7 S-waves.
