Earthquake waves arrive at seismic stations in a specific order: first, the primary waves (P-waves) arrive, which are compressional waves that travel fastest through the Earth. Next, secondary waves (S-waves) arrive, which are shear waves and travel slower than P-waves. Finally, surface waves, which travel along the Earth's surface and typically cause the most damage, arrive last. This sequence helps seismologists determine the location and magnitude of an earthquake.
Seismic waves arrive at a seismograph in the following order: first, the primary waves (P-waves), which are compressional and travel the fastest. Next, the secondary waves (S-waves) arrive, which are shear waves and travel more slowly than P-waves. Finally, surface waves, which travel along the Earth’s surface and are typically the slowest, arrive last. This sequence allows seismologists to determine the location and magnitude of an earthquake.
Primary waves are seismic waves and the arrive first after an earthquake occurs.
The last seismic waves to arrive during an earthquake are the surface waves, which travel along the Earth's surface and are responsible for the majority of the damage caused by the shaking. These waves move more slowly than the initial primary and secondary waves that travel through the Earth's interior.

This sequence is used to determine the distance to the earthquake's epicenter.

The fastest seismic waves, P-waves, will arrive first at a seismograph station after an earthquake. P-waves are compressional waves that can travel through both solids and liquids, allowing them to arrive at a station before the slower S-waves and surface waves.
Seismic waves are any waves that travel through the Earth. As such all earthquake waves are seismic waves, however not all seismic waves are caused by earthquakes.
Seismic waves.
False. P waves are the first seismic waves to arrive at a given location during an earthquake, followed by S waves. P waves are faster than S waves and are able to travel through both solids and liquids, while S waves can only travel through solids.
The secondary or S waves arrive second at a seismometer after an earthquake. These waves move slower than the primary or P waves and typically cause more damage due to their side-to-side shaking motion.
P waves (APEX)
A seismometer detects primary waves (P-waves) first. These are the fastest seismic waves and are the first to arrive at a seismometer after an earthquake.
