First P waves, seismic waves that compress and expand the ground like an Accordion. Then S waves, seismic waves that vibrate from side to side as well as up and down. And finally Surface waves, they move more slowly than P waves and S waves. But they can produce severe ground movements.

What are the first seismic waves to arrive at a seismic station?
P-waves are the first to arrive at a seismic station. There are two major types of waves: Body waves and surface waves. P-waves and S-waves come under Body waves while Love and Rayleigh waves come under surface waves. Body waves are much faster than the Surface waves. Waves are detected in the following order: P, S, Love and Rayleigh
In which order will seismic waves from an earthquake arrive?
I don't know ok
How can you use 'seismic waves' in a sentence?
Seismic waves occur when there is an earthquake.
The last seismic waves to arrive are?
The last seismic waves to arrive are surface waves.
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.

Is seismic waves and earthquake waves the same?
Seismic waves are any waves that travel through the Earth. As such all earthquake waves are seismic waves, however not all seismic waves are caused by earthquakes.
What does seismic?
(not seismic, seismic wave)Seismic waves are waves of energy that travel through the earth.
Seismic waves that shear rock side to side are called?
seismic waves actually the correct answer is S waves. trust me if you put seismic waves it will be wrong
What are the three seismic waves in order?
The three types of seismic waves are: P waves S waves Surface waves ( two surface waves. Riley surface wave and love surface wave named after scientists
Kind of wave released during an wave?
Earthquake waves are called seismic waves.
What Movement of the faults produces which kind of energy waves?
the waves caused by an earthquake are called seismic waves
How do light waves differ from seismic waves?
light waves are transversal, seismic waves are longitudinal.
What are seismic waves associated with?
Seismic waves are associated with earthquakes.
Which seismic waves cause the least damage?
The Love and Rayleigh waves (collectively known as surface waves) are the slowest moving but most damaging of the seismic waves.
In which order will seismic waves from an earthquake arrive?
I don't know ok
Which seismic waves travel the fastest?
Primary (P) waves are the fastest. Followed by secondary (S) waves, then surface waves. P waves
