S-Waves are stronger. They are slower but can move through solids.
S waves generally cause more damage than P waves during an earthquake. S waves have a stronger shaking motion that can lead to more destruction of buildings and infrastructure. P waves, on the other hand, are faster and usually less damaging than S waves.
No, surface waves move slower than P-waves and S-waves. P-waves are the fastest seismic waves, followed by S-waves, and then surface waves. Surface waves travel along the Earth's surface and are responsible for the most damage during an earthquake.
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.
s waves are about 60% slower than p waves, so basicaly p waves are about twice as fast. The actual time in like minutes or hours depends on where the epicenter is, and where you are recording from
S-waves actually have a higher amplitude, despite being slower than P-waves. It is this amplitude that indicates stress, which is why S-waves can't travel through liquids, as liquids cannot support the stresses of 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
S waves are generally more damaging than P waves because they have a greater amplitude and cause more intense shaking. However, P waves travel faster than S waves, which means that people farther from the earthquake's epicenter may feel the P waves before the stronger S waves arrive.
S waves generally cause more damage than P waves during an earthquake. S waves have a stronger shaking motion that can lead to more destruction of buildings and infrastructure. P waves, on the other hand, are faster and usually less damaging than S waves.
P-waves are longitudinal and S-waves are transverse waves.
S-waves are stronger, but travel slower and can only travel through solids.
P and S waves are body waves.
P-waves are faster than s-waves. Both can pass through solid rock, but only p-waves can pass through gases and liquids === ===
For P waves, the two descriptive words are Primary (or compressional) waves, while for S waves, the two words are Secondary (or shear) waves.
