The first waves to arrive at a seismograph station are primary waves, or P waves.
ok
The last seismic waves to arrive are surface waves.
These are known as the seismic waves or the s waves. They will reach the earthquake location second after the first shock.
surface waves because they are the last waves and also the slowest.

ok
A surface wave is the last seismic wave to arrive after an earthquake.
a surface wave is a earthquake it comes last. It goes Primary waves, Secondary waves, and Surface waves.
station yourself where they come out.

There are three types of seismic waves released by an earthquake. Primary waves (P waves) are longitudinal or compressional waves and travel through the Earth's interior. They are first to arrive at a seismic station (velocity 5-8 km/s). Secondary waves (S waves) are a transverse or shear wave and move at a lower speed than that of primary waves (velocity 3-5 km/s). They arrive second at the seismic station. Finally, there are surface waves which as the name suggests travel along the Earth's surface, there are two main types (the Love wave and Rayleigh wave) and these are the slowest types of seismic waves (velocity 2.5 - 4.5 km/s) and hence arrive last at the seismic station.
surface waves because they are the last waves and also the slowest.
The duration of The Last Station is 1.87 hours.
Primary waves (P waves) arrive at a seismograph first. Then, Secondary waves arrive. Lastly, Surface waves occur and cause the most damage.
