Yes asecondarywave is the slowest
surface wave
The speed of seismic waves from fastest to slowest is P waves (primary waves), S waves (secondary waves), and then surface waves. L waves are a type of surface wave, so they are generally slower than both P and S waves.
The S-wave is the secondary seismic wave.
Surface waves, Secondary waves, Primary waves :) I had this as a science question in school a few weeks ago... hope this helps :) Oh whoops i didnt log in so i did it again.... :) :) :) :) :) :) :)
The secondary wave of the earthquake cause little damage, only a few buildings fell.
Any wave has two directions: the up and down direction (primary wave) and the side to side direction (secondary wave).
Yes
primary
S-wave stands for : Secondary wave. It comes after the P-wave and goes before the L-wave.
A primary wave is a strong vibration or wave that hits earths surface (P) and a secondary wave (S) is a wave that hits soon after but not nearly as big.
slowest,causes the ground to twist and bend.
The surface waves (composed in turn of the Rayleigh and Love waves) are the slowest seismic waves.
