Which type of body wave always arrives after the P-wave?
The next type of seismic wave to arrive after the P-wave is the S-wave.
Is surface wave faster then a p wave?
no a p wave is faster than s wave
How do you determine an p-s interval on a seismogram?
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.
Why cant s-waves travel through the core and p-waves can?
P=wave is short for pressure wave. S-wave is short for shear wave. This should suggest a possible reason they behave differently in the (molten) outer core.
What Longitudinal wave that is first to reach the location of an earthquake?
Transverse
Which is faster an s-wave or a p-wave?
P-Wave
Which type of body wave always arrives after the P-wave?
The next type of seismic wave to arrive after the P-wave is the S-wave.
Which wave the p-wave or s-wave would arrive at seismometer afer the eatrhquake?
Both, first the P wave Then the S wave.
Is surface wave faster then a p wave?
no a p wave is faster than s wave
What is S P lag time?
the difference between the arrival of the p-wave and s-wave
What is S-P lag time?
the difference between the arrival of the p-wave and s-wave
What type of waves are there?
p-wave s-wave l-wave

Is p wave larger s wave surface wave or tsunamis?
Neither. P and S waves are body waves. Tsunamis are a different matter entirely.
Does the S-Wave eventually catch up to the P-Wave?
no
What happens between the p wave and the s wave if the distance gets longer?
since the p wave is faster it will be ahead of the s wave even though they start at the same place.
What are seismicwaves?
Seismic waves are the p wave,s wave,and the surface wave
