Secondary waves, also known as S-waves, travel at about 3.7 km/s through the Earth's crust and mantle. In 10 minutes, a secondary wave would travel approximately 22,200 kilometers.

The speed of an S wave in the Earth's crust is typically around 3.7 km/s. In 22 minutes, an S wave would travel approximately 4884 km.

a P wave, under the right conditions of course, can up to 12 parsecs in 10 minutes.
well, what is the distance in kilometers and wher is it from.
That is a primary or compressional wave. It is called compressional because the particles move toward and away from each other. It is called a primary wave because it arrives first. Sound waves in water or air are examples of primary waves. The other type of wave is a secondary or shear wave. It is called secondary because it travels more slowly and arrives later than a primary wave. It is called a shear wave because the particles move at right angles to the direction of wave motion. The side-to-side motion of a Slinky is an example of a shear wave. The other, other type of wave is a tertiary wave, which is a channeled saound wave trapped in the SoFAR channel in the ocean. Because this is typically the third type of wave identified on seismograms, this is also known as a tertiary wave or "t-phase". Love Waves and Rayleigh waves are special cases of mixed-mode waves that travel along the surface of the Earth.
Primary seismic waves (also called P-waves) are a type of ground motion most commonly associated with earthquakes, though the waves are also caused by large explosions (nuclear tests) and would be expected from an asteroid impact. For a primary seismic wave, the motion of the ground is caused by a series of compressions and decompressions in which the ground at any point is moving on an axis which passes through the epicenter, while each individual wave front is spherical around the epicenter. Since solids (such as rock) are not readily compressible by significant amounts, the vibratory movement is very slight and the wave travels very rapidly. As a consequence, P-waves travel faster than Secondary waves (S-waves) also generated by the same seismic event. Consequently, P-waves are the source of the deep rumbling sound which can be heard at the beginning of an earthquake just before the far more destructive S-waves arrive.
The speed of S-Waves in the Earth's crust is about 4-8 km/s. In 10 minutes, an S-Wave can travel a distance of approximately 24-48 kilometers.
