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.
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
Is surface wave faster then a p wave?
no a p wave is faster than s wave
