They are waves.
What else can I help you with?
What is S P lag time?
the difference between the arrival of the p-wave and s-wave
What is S-P lag time?
the difference between the arrival of the p-wave and s-wave
What are the similarities between P-waves and S-waves?
They are waves.
What happens between the p wave and the s wave if the distance gets longer?
since the p wave is faster it will be ahead of the s wave even though they start at the same place.
The first s-wave arrive at a seismograph station 11 minutes after an earthquake occurred how long after the arrival of the first p-wave did the first s-wave arrive?
The P-wave generally arrives before the S-wave during an earthquake. The time difference between them can help determine the distance to the earthquake's epicenter. In this case, if the S-wave arrived 11 minutes after the earthquake, you would need to calculate the time difference between the arrival of the P-wave and the S-wave to determine how long after the P-wave arrival the S-wave arrived.
Which is faster an s-wave or a p-wave?
P-Wave
How do you determine an p-s interval on a seismogram?
To determine the P-S interval on a seismogram, first identify the arrival times of the P-waves and S-waves. The P-wave is the first seismic wave to arrive, so locate its initial peak on the seismogram. Next, find the point where the S-wave arrives, which is characterized by a distinct increase in amplitude following the P-wave. The time difference between the two arrivals, known as the P-S interval, can then be calculated by subtracting the P-wave arrival time from the S-wave arrival time.
Which type of body wave always arrives after the P-wave?
The next type of seismic wave to arrive after the P-wave is the S-wave.
What are similarities between S-waves P-waves and surface waves?
they start at a earthquake.
Which wave the p-wave or s-wave would arrive at seismometer afer the eatrhquake?
Both, first the P wave Then the S wave.
Is surface wave faster then a p wave?
no a p wave is faster than s wave
What is the difference between arrival times of a p-wave and a s-wave?
s waves are about 60% slower than p waves, so basicaly p waves are about twice as fast. The actual time in like minutes or hours depends on where the epicenter is, and where you are recording from
