What are the three categories of seismic waves?

p wave comes first s wave comes next and last comes surface wave.


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


Is p wave larger s wave surface wave or tsunamis?

Neither. P and S waves are body waves. Tsunamis are a different matter entirely.


What are three categories of seismic waves?

Surface waves, P-waves, and S-waves.


What are the three seismic waves in order?

The three types of seismic waves are: P waves S waves Surface waves ( two surface waves. Riley surface wave and love surface wave named after scientists
