Answer:

70 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

The frequency of earthquake = 2.0 Hz

The wavelength = 35 m

How fastbthw earthquake is t traveling is given bythw velocity of the wave, velocity of wave is related to frequency and wavelength using the formula :

V = frequency * wavelength

V = 2 * 35

V = 70 m/s
