P waves go first, and are fastest. (Primary Waves).
S waves go second, and are next fastest. (Surface Waves).
Surface waves go last, and although slowest are also most destructive.
P-waves are the fastest seismic waves, and the first to be detected by seismometers.
P waves, are also called Primary waves,because they are always the first waves of an earthquake to be detected.
They are known as primary waves.

A P wave is a type of seismic wave that is caused by an earthquake. P waves are the first seismic waves felt during an earthquake. When the P wave moves, rock particles move back and forth along the direction of the P wave.
You can feel it because the waves of the earthquake are very destructive depending on the type of earthquake. The wave you might be feeling is the last wave of the earthquake which is the slowest, but the most powerful. Hope this helped! :)
P or primary seismic wave.
a tsunami is a tidal wave caused by an underwater earthquake :]
Primary waves
The P Waves. Then the S Waves.
the type of wave
Earthquake wave.
The Secondary or S-wave.
It is about 30
A tidal wave is caused by an earthquake.
The P-wave is the first shockwave (more correctly termed seismic wave) to arrive during an earthquake.
A seismic wave, or an earthquake.
Aftershock!
Seismic waves.
it is called a tsunami
