only faster not slower.
Primary seismic waves travel the fastest.
No. Surface waves are slower than both P and S-waves.
faster
Slower in water.
Primary waves are the fastest seismic waves originating from an earthquake, traveling at 6 to 7 km per second. Secondary waves travel at about 3.5 km per second.
No, slower.
faster
P-waves(primary waves) travel faster than S-waves(secondary waves)
Primary waves travel at 6 to 7 km per second. Secondary waves travel at about 3.5 km per second. which means that the p-wave travels about 3 km. faster
It is known to travel faster on turf.
Secondary seismic waves travel slower than primary waves but they are much more destructive. Thus it carries more energy.
