The question refers to the "following". In such circumstances would it be too much to expect that you make sure that there is something that is following?
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
P or Primary waves are the fastest earthquake or seismic waves.
P-waves(primary waves) travel faster than S-waves(secondary waves)
They are given this name in seismology because they are the fastest travelling of the seismic body waves released by an earthquake. Because they are the fastest, they are detected by seismometer stations first. Hence P for primary wave.
P-waves are longitudinal and S-waves are transverse waves.
Primary (P) waves : Primary waves, the fastest wave sent , come from the focus not the epicenter. (S) waves : Secondary waves, the second fastest wave sent out by an earthquake, it comes from the focus also.
Yes, unlike s waves
The speed of seismic waves from fastest to slowest is P waves (primary waves), S waves (secondary waves), and then surface waves. L waves are a type of surface wave, so they are generally slower than both P and S waves.
Primary waves (P-waves) are the fastest seismic waves and are the first to be detected after an earthquake. They are able to travel through solid rock, liquid, and gas, making them the fastest seismic waves.
no, p waves are the fastest followed by s waves and finally surface waves
P waves... L waves are slowest.
No, P and S waves travel faster than surface waves. P waves are the fastest seismic waves, followed by S waves, with surface waves being the slowest. Surface waves are responsible for most of the damage caused by earthquakes due to their amplitude and duration.
P-waves travel the fastest. This is also knows as a Primary waves, or compressional wave. P-wave stravel twice as fast as an S-wave
P-waves travel the fastest. This is also knows as a Primary waves, or compressional wave. P-wave stravel twice as fast as an S-wave
P-waves arrive first, followed by S-waves, and then surface waves during an earthquake. This sequence is due to the difference in wave velocities, with P-waves being the fastest and surface waves being the slowest.
i think so.. :/ Travel fastest through rock material causing rock particles in the rock to move back or forth
S-waves are slower than P-waves, which are the fastest seismic waves. S-waves are shear waves that move in a back-and-forth motion, causing particles to move perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation.
