In seismology, a P-wave is a primary wave, or sometimes a pressure wave. In general, the primary wave is the fastest moving seismic wave, as it is the first to reach any detector (seismometer) set up to sense them. Use the link below for more information.

What is another name for surface waves?
another name for pressure wave is a P-wave EDIT: Another name for P-waves or Pressure waves are Compressional, Longitudinal, P, Dilation waves. The particle motion is in the direction of wave propagation These waves occur in Solids, Liquids, and Gases whereas Shear, transverse, S, or equivoluminal waves only occur in solids.
What is another name for a longitudinal a longitudinal wave?
A compression wave is another name for a longitudinal wave.
Another name for a compressional wave?
Sound wave
What is another name for pressure wave?
"Tide" or a faster wave would be a "White cap"
Which is faster an s-wave or a p-wave?
P-Wave
What is another name for wave hight?
Wave height is also referred to as wave amplitude.
What is another name for the crest of a wave?
The crest of a wave is also known as the peak or the top of the wave.
What is an other name for tidal wave?
Another name for a tidal wave is a tsunami. Tsunamis are large ocean waves caused by underwater earthquakes or volcanic eruptions.
What is another name for tidal waves?
there is no other name for a tidal wave, just tidal wave
What is another name for a wave height?
Another name for wave height is "wave amplitude." This term refers to the vertical distance between the crest (top) of the wave and the trough (bottom) of the wave. Wave height is a key parameter in oceanography and meteorology, as it helps to characterize wave energy and intensity.
What is another name for a massive wave?
Tsunami
Is surface wave faster then a p wave?
no a p wave is faster than s wave
