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.
Kind of wave released during an wave?
Earthquake waves are called seismic waves.
How do light waves differ from seismic waves?
light waves are transversal, seismic waves are longitudinal.
How are energy of seismic waves related to magnitude?
they are not related to magnitude. seismic waves are related to my great aunt paula but not magnitude
Will a seismic wave traveling through solid go faster or slower than a seismic wave traveling through liquid?
Mechanical waves (like seismic waves) will travel faster through a solid than a liquid.

P Wave
The type of seismic waves that arrive at the surfaces first and move by compressing and expanding the ground like an accordion are called?
P-waves
Which seismic waves travel the fastest?
Primary (P) waves are the fastest. Followed by secondary (S) waves, then surface waves. P 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.
Which seismic wave arrives last at a seismograph station?
The first waves to arrive at a seismograph station are primary waves, or P waves.
What type of seismic wave arrives after an earthquake?
A seismic wave travels through the Earth's layers, after a volcano, explosion, or earthquake. Transverse, compressional, longitude, and shear waves are all types of seismic waves after earthquakes.
