When do P waves arrive at the surface in relation to S waves?
when the P waves arrive at the surface in relation to s waves and surface waves is called the promary waves.
When do p waves arrive in relation to s waves and surface waves?
P waves are the fastest seismic waves and would arrive first.
Do p waves s waves transverse waves or surface waves arrive first?
P waves arrive first.
Are surface waves the first to arrive at a seismic facilty?
p waves s waves surface waves so no
What waves will arrive at a seismograph station first after an earthquake?
P waves arrive first at a seismograph station after an earthquake. The P waves are followed by S waves, and then surface waves.
What are the first seismic waves to arrive at a seismic station?
P-waves are the first to arrive at a seismic station. There are two major types of waves: Body waves and surface waves. P-waves and S-waves come under Body waves while Love and Rayleigh waves come under surface waves. Body waves are much faster than the Surface waves. Waves are detected in the following order: P, S, Love and Rayleigh
What type of seismic waves that arrive at the surface first?
Those are the P-waves, which are the fastest and weakest.
When do P waves arrive at the surface in relation to S waves and surface surface waves?
The arrival times of various wave types depends on the travel path of those waves. Writing anything other than a rough estimation would be rather difficult with text, so see the link associated below for a travel time chart.
What type of seismic waves that arrive at the surface first and move by compressing and expanding the ground like an accordion?
P waves
When do p and s waves arrive at the same time?
No, the primary (P) waves arrive first.
What types of waves are the first waves to reach seismograph stations?
P-waves are the first seismic waves to arrive at a seismograph station.
The type of seismic waves that arrive at the surface first and move by compressing and expanding the ground like an accordion are called?
P-waves
