P -waves travel faster because the movement of them, it is a back and forth motion while S- waves are a side to side expending more energy.
The seismic wave that travels really fast is the primary or P-wave. P-waves are the fastest seismic waves and can travel through solids, liquids, and gases. They are the first waves recorded on seismographs during an earthquake.
A P wave is a type of seismic wave generated by an earthquake that travels the fastest through the Earth's layers. It is the first wave to arrive at a seismograph station and is known as a compressional wave because it pushes and pulls the rock particles as it moves.
The first shock wave of an earthquake is known as the P-wave or primary wave. It is the fastest seismic wave and can travel through both solid and liquid materials. P-waves are responsible for the initial jolt felt during an earthquake.
A seismic wave travels through the Earth's layers, after a volcano, explosion, or earthquake. Transverse, compressional, longitude, and shear waves are all types of seismic waves after earthquakes.
The fastest type of seismic wave is the primary wave, or P-wave. P-waves are compressional waves that travel through solids, liquids, and gases, and they are the first waves to arrive at a seismograph during an earthquake.

A seismic wave.
The Primary or P-wave which is a type of compression or longitudinal wave travels with a push and pull movement.
the energy released by an earthquake that travels in all direction from the focus
The P-wave which is a form of body wave known as a compression or longitudinal wave.
A longitudinal wave that travels through the interior of the Earth is called a P-wave. P-waves move by compressing and expanding the material they pass through, making them the fastest seismic waves and the first to be detected during an earthquake.
A P wave is a type of seismic wave generated by an earthquake that travels the fastest through the Earth's layers. It is the first wave to arrive at a seismograph station and is known as a compressional wave because it pushes and pulls the rock particles as it moves.
The p wave is a pressure wave after a earthquake and it travels the fastest. An s wave is a wave that moves side to side and is second fastest. Bouth types of waves can go though all material but at different speeds. The denser the material the faster is gose generally. The last wave type is a L wave and it is a rolling wave that is also the slowest wave.
