A P-wave takes 5 minutes to travel from the epicenter of an earthquake to a seismic station. Approximately how many minutes will it take an S-wave to travel that same distance?

S-waves travel slower than P-waves, typically at about 60-70% of the speed of P-waves. If a P-wave takes 5 minutes to reach the seismic station, the S-wave would take approximately 8 to 10 minutes to cover the same distance, depending on the specific speeds of the waves in that region.
