When do p and s waves arrive at the same time?
No, the primary (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
After an earthquake which type of seismic wave arrives first at a seismometer?
P waves (APEX)
Which type of seismic waves arrives at distant points before any other seismic waves?
Primary waves are seismic waves and the arrive first after an earthquake occurs.
What type of seismic waves that arrive at the surface first?
Those are the P-waves, which are the fastest and weakest.
What are the waves that arrive after primary waves in the Earth?
Secondary waves.

The waves that arrive after primary waves they move the ground back and forth?
secondary

After an earthquake which type of seismic wave arrives first at a seismometer?

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.
Are primary seismic waves slower than secondary waves?
Primary waves are called so because they are the first to arrive, and secondary waves are called so because they arrive second. Based on this logic I would say no. There is in fact a marked difference, which is used to tell how far away the epicenter is from a particular seismograph.
Do p waves or s waves have higher velocity?
P waves have a higher velocity than S waves. This is known because P waves (Primary waves) arrive at recording stations faster than all other waves. S waves (Secondary waves) arrive second at recording stations.
Which type of seismic waves arrives at distant points before any other seismic waves?
Primary waves are seismic waves and the arrive first after an earthquake occurs.
What type of seismic waves that arrive at the surface first?
Those are the P-waves, which are the fastest and weakest.
Does a P wave arrive at the seismograph first?
yes it does because its faster and its the primary wave
Do p waves s waves transverse waves or surface waves arrive first?
P waves arrive first.
