    Describe the main types of mass wasting, the steps we can take to delay it, and some of the measures that can be taken to mitigate the risks associated with mass wasting. General course questions: If ...Describe the main types of mass wasting, the steps we can take to delay it, and some of the measures that can be taken to mitigate the risks associated with mass wasting. General course questions: If your question is of a general nature such that other students would benefit from the answer, then go to the discussions area and post it as a question thread in the “General course questions” discussion area.

S-waves are more damaging than P-waves, and surface waves are the most damaging seismic waves of all.How much warning did residents of the following cities have before the more serious shaking began, starting with arrival of the S-waves?(Hint: Calculate the difference in arrival time between the P- and S-waves in each city.)Show all your work.
