What is the fastest type of siesmic wave?
Primary Wave (P wave)
What type of wave moves the fastest?
Light wave travels fastest in air Sound wave travels fastest in solid or liquid
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
Which type of wave travels the fastest?
Electromagnetic waves travel the fastest, at the speed of light in a vacuum, 3.0 x 108 m/s.
What is the fastest the big wave or the small wave?
the middle wave!
What earthquake waves is the fastest?
The first wave is the fastest
Which type of seismic waves have particle motion in the same direction as the wave propagation?
p - these are also the fastest
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.
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.
What type of ocean wave moves the fastest?
Tsunamis are the fastest ocean waves, traveling across the ocean at speeds of up to 500-600 miles per hour. This is much faster than wind-generated waves or currents.
What are p and s waveswhich one moves faster and ehat types of material can each go through?
The p wave is a pressure wave after a earthquake and it travels the fastest. An s wave is a wave that moves side to side and is second fastest. Bouth types of waves can go though all material but at different speeds. The denser the material the faster is gose generally. The last wave type is a L wave and it is a rolling wave that is also the slowest wave.
