No, the primary (P) waves arrive first.
P waves arrive first.
P-waves arrive first, followed by S-waves, and then surface waves during an earthquake. This sequence is due to the difference in wave velocities, with P-waves being the fastest and surface waves being the slowest.
P waves (APEX)
No, P-waves are the first seismic waves to arrive at a given location. P-waves are faster than S-waves and can travel through solid and fluid materials, whereas S-waves only travel through solid materials.
No, surface waves are typically the last seismic waves to arrive at a seismic facility. They travel more slowly than body waves (P and S waves) and arrive after the initial shaking caused by the faster body waves.
P waves arrive first.
P-waves arrive first, followed by S-waves, and then surface waves during an earthquake. This sequence is due to the difference in wave velocities, with P-waves being the fastest and surface waves being the slowest.
P waves arrive before S waves during an earthquake, as P waves are faster and can travel through solid rock, while S waves can only travel through solids and are slower. This difference in arrival time can be used to determine the distance of the earthquake epicenter from the seismograph station.
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.
Secondary waves.
P waves (APEX)
As P-waves travel at a higher velocity than S-waves they arrive at a seismometer station before the S-waves. The difference between their arrival time can be used to calculate the distance from the seismometer station to the epicentre.
