A p wave is the primary or compression wave in a seismic wave.
it's wavy
no a p wave is faster than s wave
The next type of seismic wave to arrive after the P-wave is the S-wave.
P-wave particles move in the same direction as the wave's propagation, which is the direction of energy transfer. This movement is back and forth in the direction of the wave.
I believe it is the P Wave. A good way to remember is all of the Waves are in alphabetical order. P Wave, Q-R-S Waves and the T Wave
a p wave (primary wave) is super fast and it can go through the entire earth whereas an s wave ( a secondary wave) is slower and can only go through the solid parts of the earth ( like the crust, ect.)
P-Wave
no a p wave is faster than s wave
The next type of seismic wave to arrive after the P-wave is the S-wave.
Both, first the P wave Then the S wave.
Longitudinal Waves
Yes. P-waves are known as primary waves and are a compressional or longitudinal wave.
They call it the Primary wave or a P-wave
The primary body wave that is a longitudinal wave is the P wave. P waves are compressional waves that travel through solid and liquid materials by causing particles to move in the same direction of wave propagation.
p-wave s-wave l-wave
Primary Wave (P wave)
The primary body wave that is a longitudinal wave is the P-wave (primary wave). It is the fastest seismic wave and travels through the Earth's interior by compressing and expanding the rock in the direction of the wave's propagation.
To find the P-wave arrival time, you need to identify the initial sharp upward deflection on the seismogram. This indicates the arrival of the P-wave. Measure the time from the origin of the seismic event to the arrival of the P-wave to determine the P-wave arrival time.
