Theoretical P-Wave Travel Times
Magnitude 3.3 ARIZONA
Saturday, February 16, 2013 at 21:57:45 UTC
These maps show the predicted (theoretical) travel times, in minutes, of the compressional (P) wave from the earthquake location to points around the globe. The travel times are computed using the spherically-symmetric IASP91 reference earth velocity model. The heavy black lines shown are the approximate distances to the P-wave shadow zone (103 to 140 degrees).
