p wave
The P wave
the P wave
since the p wave is faster it will be ahead of the s wave even though they start at the same place.
Neither. P and S waves are body waves. Tsunamis are a different matter entirely.
P-Wave
no a p wave is faster than s wave
The next type of seismic wave to arrive after the P-wave is the S-wave.
Both, first the P wave Then the S wave.
Longitudinal Waves
Yes. P-waves are known as primary waves and are a compressional or longitudinal wave.
They call it the Primary wave or a P-wave
The primary body wave that is a longitudinal wave is the P wave. P waves are compressional waves that travel through solid and liquid materials by causing particles to move in the same direction of wave propagation.
p-wave s-wave l-wave
Primary Wave (P wave)
The primary body wave that is a longitudinal wave is the P-wave (primary wave). It is the fastest seismic wave and travels through the Earth's interior by compressing and expanding the rock in the direction of the wave's propagation.
To find the P-wave arrival time, you need to identify the initial sharp upward deflection on the seismogram. This indicates the arrival of the P-wave. Measure the time from the origin of the seismic event to the arrival of the P-wave to determine the P-wave arrival time.
