Which seismic wave arrives last at a seismograph station?
The first waves to arrive at a seismograph station are primary waves, or P waves.
If an earthquake occured in seattle Washington how long would it take for the first seismic waves to arrive at a seismograph station in Miami Florida?
8 minutes
How is the distance between a seismic station and the earthquake epicenter is determined?
The distance between a seismic station and the earthquake epicenter is determined from the S-P interval, which is the time difference between the time of arrival of the first P wave and the first S wave.
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
Which earthquake waves are the first to be recorded on a seismometer and are the fastest?
P-waves which are a compression or pressure wave are the fastest seismic waves. As they are the fastest they will reach the seismic station before any of the other seismic waves and be recorded first. Seismologists can use the difference between the arrival times of different seismic waves to calculate the distance and ultimately the location of the earthquakes epicentre. For information on this, please see the related question.

What order does the seismograph arrive at the seismograph station?
First

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 type of waves reach a seismograph station first p of s?
P
When an earthquakes occurs S waves are the first seismic waves to arrived at a given location?
true

Who invented the seismograph?
The first "modern" seismograph was invented by John Milne in 1880. However, Zhang Heng, a Chinese astronomer is also believed to have invented the seismograph; probably the primitive ones.
What type of seismic waves that arrived at the surface first and move by compressing and expanding the ground like an accordion are called?
P Wave
