What are seismic waves that moves rock particles at right angels to the direction of the wave?
P or Primary waves are longitudinal waves that move rock particles back and forth in the same direction that the wave travels.
Is a P-wave a seismic wave?
Yes. P-waves are known as primary waves and are a compressional or longitudinal 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.
