What else can I help you with?
primary waves or p waves?
face to be felt on earth's surface
After an earthquake which type of seismic wave arrives first at a seismometer?
P waves (APEX)
What are P and S waves also called?
there are 3 types of shock waves produced by an earthquake:the P waves which is known as the (primary or compression) waves are the first to arrive at the recording station, p waves are formed when matter in the rocks is pushed together by the earth's movement. they can travel through solids and liquids.the S waves which is known as the (secondary )waves are the second waves to arrive at the recording station. this waves are also called the shear waves. these waves are formed by the sideways motion of matter, it can only travel through solids.BSecondary waves are also known as shear waves and primary waves are also known as pressure waves.
What type of seismic waves that arrive at the surface first?
P-waves, or primary waves, are the fastest seismic waves and typically arrive at the surface first after an earthquake. These waves can travel through both solid and liquid materials, making them the first to be detected by seismographs.
What waves are the first to reach a seismograph after an earthquake?
The primary waves (P-waves) are the first to reach a seismograph after an earthquake. These waves are faster than other seismic waves and can travel through both solid and liquid materials.
What is the abbreviation for secondary waves?
The abbreviation for secondary waves is S-waves.
What is an abbreviation often used for secondary waves?
The abbreviation often used for secondary waves is S-waves.
What do primary waves do to rocks?
The first waves to hit are primary waves. Primary waves are seismic waves that compress and stretch the ground. P waves, or primary waves, can wreck buildings and can move straightforward through solids and liquids.
Are the primary waves faster then the secondary waves?
Primary seismic waves travel the fastest.
Longitudinal seismic wave are known as?
The Answer is primary waves.
Which seismic waves travel the fastest?
Primary waves (P-waves) are the fastest seismic waves and are the first to be detected after an earthquake. They are able to travel through solid rock, liquid, and gas, making them the fastest seismic waves.
What is the abbreviation for surface waves?
sur-wave
What waves are there for earthquakes?
Primary waves, Secondary waves, and Seismic waves
What is the abbreviation for appreciation?
There is one abbreviation for the word appreciation. The abbreviation of appr'n is used primary in the business area.
What is the abbreviation of primary wave?
P.w
What is known as P waves?
primary waves or compressional waves
What are the waves that arrive after primary waves in the Earth?
Secondary waves.
