P-waves are longitudinal, S-waves are transverse.
P-waves travel faster than S-waves.
P-waves can travel through Solids and Liquids whereas S-waves can only travel through solids.
S-Waves (Transverse waves) propagate by a pure shear in a direction perpendicular to the direction of wave travel.
P-Waves (Longitudinal waves) propagate by compressional dilation uniaxial strains in the direction of wave travel.
P-waves are pressure (i.e. compression-rarefaction) waves similar to sound waves. Then material is moved forward-backward in the direction of wave propagation. They can pass through any medium (i.e. solid, liquid, gas) and travel faster than any other earthquake generated wave so they are the first ones you feel. Because a P-wave can pass through gas, they can sometimes be heard during a strong earthquake.
S-waves are shear (i.e. side to side) waves similar to the waves when you shake a taut rope. The material is moving sideways perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. They can only pass through solids. They usually do more damage than P-waves.
They both carry energy, just not the same amount.
Both are elastic earthquake waves. P (compression and dilation) is faster than S which looks like a sinusoidal wave.
P = Primary, S = Secondary.
P waves can travel through gas, solids, and liquids and Swaves can only travel through solids.
How does what differ from mass?

K and C differ by 273.15 degrees.
P = Primary, S = Secondary.
A Pwave is the first wave to arrive during an earthquake, P waves compress and then expand. They can damage buildings.
well when you are holding the magnitic string you have to move it and then you will feel a vibriation in your hands from left to right
P waves can travel through gas, solids, and liquids and Swaves can only travel through solids.
No. S waves are really weak so it wouldn't last to that extent.
P-waves and S-waves. P waves are known as Primary waves as they have a high velocity and so are recorded at seismometer stations before Secondary or S-waves. P waves may also be known as pressure waves as they are in fact compression or longitudinal waves. S-waves may also be known as shear waves as they are transverse waves.
The pair of them differ so much.Their opinions often differ.
differ
they are differ by their color they are also differ in temperature

Use it as a verb. Shelly differs from Mary
