  6. Epicenter St. Louis, MO Los Angeles, CA If you began to record a nearby large earthquake on your seismograph in Los Angeles, could you use your cell phone to call your friend in St. Louis and alert them to run to the seismograph to watch? WHY?

  7. Yes. Cell phones signals are part of the electromagnetic spectrum and as a result travel much faster (at the speed of light in a vacuum) than seismic waves through the ground. 1 degree = ~111km Earthquake Slope = ?
