when the P waves arrive at the surface in relation to s waves and surface waves is called the promary waves.
P waves arrive first at a seismograph station after an earthquake. The P waves are followed by S waves, and then surface waves.
P waves
P-waves
No. Surface waves are slower than both P and 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.
P waves are the fastest seismic waves and would arrive first.
P waves arrive first.

P waves arrive first at a seismograph station after an earthquake. The P waves are followed by S waves, and then surface waves.
P-waves are the first to arrive at a seismic station. There are two major types of waves: Body waves and surface waves. P-waves and S-waves come under Body waves while Love and Rayleigh waves come under surface waves. Body waves are much faster than the Surface waves. Waves are detected in the following order: P, S, Love and Rayleigh
Those are the P-waves, which are the fastest and weakest.
The arrival times of various wave types depends on the travel path of those waves. Writing anything other than a rough estimation would be rather difficult with text, so see the link associated below for a travel time chart.
P waves
No, the primary (P) waves arrive first.
P-waves are the first seismic waves to arrive at a seismograph station.
P-waves
Primary waves (P waves) arrive at a seismograph first. Then, Secondary waves arrive. Lastly, Surface waves occur and cause the most damage.
