A p wave is the primary or compression wave in a seismic wave.
it's wavy
no a p wave is faster than s wave
The next type of seismic wave to arrive after the P-wave is the S-wave.
P-wave particles move in the same direction as the wave's propagation, which is the direction of energy transfer. This movement is back and forth in the direction of the wave.
I believe it is the P Wave. A good way to remember is all of the Waves are in alphabetical order. P Wave, Q-R-S Waves and the T Wave
To determine the P-S interval on a seismogram, first identify the arrival times of the P-waves and S-waves. The P-wave is the first seismic wave to arrive, so locate its initial peak on the seismogram. Next, find the point where the S-wave arrives, which is characterized by a distinct increase in amplitude following the P-wave. The time difference between the two arrivals, known as the P-S interval, can then be calculated by subtracting the P-wave arrival time from the S-wave arrival time.

Both, first the P wave Then the S wave.
Longitudinal Waves
Yes. P-waves are known as primary waves and are a compressional or longitudinal wave.
They call it the Primary wave or a P-wave
The primary body wave that is a longitudinal wave is the P wave. P waves are compressional waves that travel through solid and liquid materials by causing particles to move in the same direction of wave propagation.
To find the P-wave arrival time, you need to identify the initial sharp upward deflection on the seismogram. This indicates the arrival of the P-wave. Measure the time from the origin of the seismic event to the arrival of the P-wave to determine the P-wave arrival time.
The primary body wave that is a longitudinal wave is the P-wave (primary wave). It is the fastest seismic wave and travels through the Earth's interior by compressing and expanding the rock in the direction of the wave's propagation.
