Given a magnitude 8 and a magnitude 6 earthquake in the same location of Seattle in the state of Washington and given a seismometer in Columbus, Ohio. The magnitude 8 earthquake produces P -waves that arrive in Columbus from Seattle at the same time as P-waves from the magnitude 6 earthquake. The reason for this is becal [ Select ] larger earthquakes create faster seismic waves smaller earthquakes create faster seismic waves larger earthquakes create slower seismic waves smaller earthquakes create slower seismic waves seismic wave velocities are a property of the rocks not the earthquake
