P and S waves are body waves.
What else can I help you with?
Which seismic wave type arrives first during an earthquake?
The P Waves. Then the S Waves.
What type of wave is the fastest?
The fastest wave is the electromagnetic wave. Of the seismic waves, the P-wave is the fastest seismic wave.
What is the fastest type of seismic wave?
The fastest type of seismic wave is the primary wave, or P-wave. P-waves are compressional waves that travel through solids, liquids, and gases, and they are the first waves to arrive at a seismograph during an earthquake.
What is fastest type of seismic wave?
p waves aka primary waves
What type of seismic wave that compresses and expands the ground?
Longitudinal Waves
What type of wave is a P wave?
A P wave is a type of seismic wave that travels through the Earth's interior. It is a compressional wave, meaning the particles it passes through move in the same direction as the wave itself. P waves are the fastest seismic waves and are the first to be detected during an earthquake.
Is a P-wave a body wave?
Yes. In a seismic context, P and S waves are body waves while Love and Rayleigh waves are surface waves.
What is the type of seismic wave that arrives at the surface first and moves by compressing and expanding the ground like an accordion?
Those are the P-waves, which are the fastest and weakest.
Is a P-wave a seismic wave?
Yes. P-waves are known as primary waves and are a compressional or longitudinal wave.
What type of seismic wave can travel through both liquids and solids?
P-waves
What seismic wave the fastest?
P waves
After an earthquake which type of seismic waves reach seismometers last?
A surface wave is the last seismic wave to arrive after an earthquake.
