Do p waves s waves transverse waves or surface waves arrive first?
P waves arrive first.
Are S-waves the first seismic waves to arrive at a given location?
No. P-waves (or primary waves) are the first waves to arrive.False. P waves are the first waves to arrive after an earthquake occurs
What waves will arrive at a seismograph station first after an earthquake?
P waves arrive first at a seismograph station after an earthquake. The P waves are followed by S waves, and then surface waves.
When do p waves arrive in relation to s waves and surface waves?
P waves are the fastest seismic waves and would arrive first.
When do p and s waves arrive at the same time?
No, the primary (P) waves arrive first.
What are the first waves to arrive when a earthquake occurs?
P waves
Are surface waves the first to arrive at a seismic facilty?
p waves s waves surface waves so no
After an earthquake which type of seismic wave arrives first at a seismometer?
P waves (APEX)
What wave is always first to arrive?
p-waves
Are surface waves the first to arrive at the seismic facility?
No
What types of waves are the first waves to reach seismograph stations?
P-waves are the first seismic waves to arrive at a seismograph station.
What are the first seismic waves to arrive at a seismic station?
P-waves are the first to arrive at a seismic station. There are two major types of waves: Body waves and surface waves. P-waves and S-waves come under Body waves while Love and Rayleigh waves come under surface waves. Body waves are much faster than the Surface waves. Waves are detected in the following order: P, S, Love and Rayleigh
