The fast is primary wave which travels through liguid, solid and gas. This how Geologist know the outer core is liquid. Secondary waves travel through only solid. The primary wave are the first to reach the seismograph.

Do p waves or surface waves move faster?
No. Surface waves are slower than both P and S-waves.
Do surface waves move faster than P-waves or S-waves?
No. Surface waves are slower than both P and S-waves.
Compared to P waves and S waves do surface waves move slower or faster?
Surface waves move slower. P waves are the fastest. Surface waves are the slowest. they are slowest but most destructive.
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.
What are the two types of seismic surface waves?
body waves and surface waves
Do p waves or surface waves move faster?
No. Surface waves are slower than both P and S-waves.
Which travels slower p waves or surface waves?
surface waves because p waves and s waves are way faster so here is how it goes from fastest to slowest: is p wave and then s wave and then surface waves
Are p-waves faster than s-waves and surface waves?
Yes. P-waves have the highest velocity of all seismic waves and surface waves have the lowest.
Do surface waves move faster than P-waves or S-waves?
No. Surface waves are slower than both P and S-waves.
Compared to P waves and S waves do surface waves move slower or faster?
Surface waves move slower. P waves are the fastest. Surface waves are the slowest. they are slowest but most destructive.
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.
How much faster does p waves move than s waves?
P-waves move around 3 km/s faster than s-waves.
Do waves travel faster than S waves?
no p waves travel faster than s waves
What are the two types of seismic surface waves?
body waves and surface waves
Is it true that surface waves move more quickly than p waves and s waves?
no, p waves are the fastest followed by s waves and finally surface waves
Is it true that surface waves move more quickly than p and s waves?
no, p waves are the fastest followed by s waves and finally surface waves
What are the three categories of seismic waves?
p wave comes first s wave comes next and last comes surface wave.
