What is the longest amount of time that might occur between earthquake occurrence and arrival of the first earthquake waves at a seismograph?

Several minutes

Explanation:

It takes several minutes after the occurrence of an earthquake for the first earthquake waves to appear on a seismograph. These waves are recorded as body waves (P and S waves). the P waves are fast moving and are recorded first on the seismograph. The distance of the seismic recording center is determined by the time it takes the first P and S waves to show up, which is typically several minutes.

temperatures get warmer — and heatwaves are more common. nothing says summer like warm weather. this rise in temperatures is caused by the tilt of the earth's axis. our planet doesn't sit perfectly straight as it spins — it has a slight lean of approximately 23.5 degrees with respect to the sun, called the axial tilt.
