the petrographical interaction between them are at different levels therefore occurring in different wave lengths.
The three types of earthquake waves are primary waves, surface waves, and secondary waves.
Primary seismic waves travel the fastest.
Secondary waves.
Primary waves, Secondary waves, and Seismic waves
Sound waves, light waves, radio waves, microwaves, and ocean waves.
Primary Waves, Secondary Waves, and Surface Waves.
P waves (primary waves) and S waves (secondary waves).
Seismic waves Types: Primary waves Secondary waves Surface waves
Primary and secondary refer to the order in which they come out, surface waves are called surface because they resonate close to the surface
Twice as long. The interval between the arrival of the primary and secondary waves doubles with every doubling of the distance from the epicenter due to the different velocities of the waves.
For P waves, the two descriptive words are Primary (or compressional) waves, while for S waves, the two words are Secondary (or shear) waves.
