Do surface waves move faster than P-waves or S-waves?
No. Surface waves are slower than both P and S-waves.
Do p waves or surface waves move faster?
No. Surface waves are slower than both P and S-waves.
What are earthquake waves?
vibration that travels through earth carrying the energy released during an earthquake.
Are S-wave slower than p waves?
yes, their speed is about 60% of the speed of a p-wave through a given material. s-waves are also known as surface waves or secondary waves. they are known as secondary waves because they occur second because of their slower speed.
Do p waves or s waves have higher velocity?
P waves have a higher velocity than S waves. This is known because P waves (Primary waves) arrive at recording stations faster than all other waves. S waves (Secondary waves) arrive second at recording stations.
Do surface waves move faster than P-waves or S-waves?
No. Surface waves are slower than both P and S-waves.
Do ocean waves travel faster or slower than primary waves or secondary waves?
only faster not slower.
Do p waves or surface waves move faster?
No. Surface waves are slower than both P and S-waves.
Are p-waves faster than s-waves and surface waves?
Yes. P-waves have the highest velocity of all seismic waves and surface waves have the lowest.
Do longitudinal waves travel the fastest?
Longitudinal waves, the result of earthquakes, also known as Primary, or P-Waves, are faster than Transverse (Secondary) Waves.
What type of earthquake wave travels faster?
P-waves(primary waves) travel faster than S-waves(secondary waves)
What are known as s waves?
S waves, or Secondary waves, are earthquake waves during an earthquake. They crash after P waves ( Primary waves) and are less stronger than surface waves

no p waves travel faster than s waves

P waves have a higher velocity than S waves. This is known because P waves (Primary waves) arrive at recording stations faster than all other waves. S waves (Secondary waves) arrive second at recording stations.
Where do waves originate?
Longitudinal waves are the result of earthquakes, and are also known as Primary, or P-Waves. Longitudinal waves are faster than Transverse (Secondary) Waves. A diagram of a Longitudinal wave is a straight line, with a denser area where the wave itself is travelling.
