How are p-and s-waves arrival time differences related to the distance of a city away from an epicenter?
p waves are normally faster than s waves s waves have trouble sometimes going through solid rock while p waves travel straight through rock.
What is the difference Between S waves P waves?
P-waves are faster than s-waves. Both can pass through solid rock, but only p-waves can pass through gases and liquids === ===
How much faster does p waves move than s waves?
P-waves move around 3 km/s faster than s-waves.
Do p waves s waves transverse waves or surface waves arrive first?
P waves arrive first.
Is it true that surface waves move more quickly than p and s waves?
no, p waves are the fastest followed by s waves and finally surface waves
What are the differences between P-waverband S-waves?
band and p-
How are p-and s-waves arrival time differences related to the distance of a city away from an epicenter?

What are the differences between the waves?
P' waves and 'S' waves are both seismic waves that travel through the Earth. 'S'waves are unable to go through any liquid. 'P' waves, on the other hand, can go through both solids and liquids.
Are P-waves and S-waves transverse or longitudinal waves?
P-waves are longitudinal and S-waves are transverse waves.
What type of seismic wave are P waves and S waves?
P and S waves are body waves.
What are differences between the two surface waves?
P' waves and 'S' waves are both seismic waves that travel through the Earth. 'S'waves are unable to go through any liquid. 'P' waves, on the other hand, can go through both solids and liquids.
What is the difference Between S waves P waves?
P-waves are faster than s-waves. Both can pass through solid rock, but only p-waves can pass through gases and liquids === ===
What does the S wave and P wave stand for?
P waves are primary waves and S waves are called secondary waves
When do P waves arrive at the surface in relation to S waves?
when the P waves arrive at the surface in relation to s waves and surface waves is called the promary waves.
What directions does P waves and S waves go?
P waves go side to side. S waves go up and down.
Are p waves transverse waves or longitudinal waves?
P-waves are longitudinal and S-waves are transverse waves.
What is s waves and p waves?
P-waves are faster than s-waves. Both can pass through solid rock, but only p-waves can pass through gases and liquids === ===
