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 are the first seismic waves to arrive at a seismic station?
P-waves are the first to arrive at a seismic station. There are two major types of waves: Body waves and surface waves. P-waves and S-waves come under Body waves while Love and Rayleigh waves come under surface waves. Body waves are much faster than the Surface waves. Waves are detected in the following order: P, S, Love and Rayleigh
Where do ocean waves start?
Ocean waves are formed by the wind transferring its energy to the surface of the water. When the wind blows across the surface of the ocean, it creates ripples that then develop into waves. The size and power of the waves depend on factors such as wind speed, duration, and fetch (the distance over which the wind blows).
What order do seismic waves come in?
First P waves, seismic waves that compress and expand the ground like an accordion. Then S waves, seismic waves that vibrate from side to side as well as up and down. And finally Surface waves, they move more slowly than P waves and S waves. But they can produce severe ground movements.
Which waves come first P-waves L-waves or S-waves?
P-waves typically arrive first during an earthquake, followed by S-waves, and then L-waves. P-waves are compressional waves that travel fastest through the earth's interior, followed by S-waves which are shear waves. L-waves are surface waves that travel along the earth's crust.

Why are earthquake waves called primary secondary and surface?
Primary and secondary refer to the order in which they come out, surface waves are called surface because they resonate close to the surface
What are the tipe of earthquakes?
The epicenter is where the waves first hit the surface, the 'focus' is the point where the waves come from initially.
Were does the energy that produces waves come from?
Wind that blows across the water surface.
Where do the waves come from?
Waves are created by the transfer of energy from winds blowing across the surface of the water. The friction between the wind and the surface of the water causes ripples to form, which can develop into waves as they travel across the ocean.
What are the first seismic waves to arrive at a seismic station?
P-waves are the first to arrive at a seismic station. There are two major types of waves: Body waves and surface waves.

Are the S waves the fastest?
The question refers to the "following". In such circumstances would it be too much to expect that you make sure that there is something that is following?
What are psl waves?
P= PressureS= SurfaceL= Rollingthe 3 main types of earthquakes- they go in order from less to more damaging.The below is from SCI 3 (science text book) and if your talking about earthquake waves:P waves are Primary waves and come firstS waves are secondary waves and come secondP and S waves goes through the earthL waves are Love waves and comes lastR waves are Rayleigh waves and comes thirdL and R waves travel on the surface

The size and power of the waves depend on factors such as wind speed, duration, and fetch (the distance over which the wind blows).
Where does the energy stored in wind and waves come from?
The energy stored in wind comes from the sun's uneven heating of the Earth's surface, which causes air to move and create wind. The energy stored in waves comes from the wind transferring its energy to the surface of the water, causing it to move and create waves.
Why do waves come into shore?
Waves come into shore because they are generated by the wind. As the wind blows over the surface of the water, it transfers energy to the water molecules, creating ripples that eventually develop into waves. When these waves reach shallow water near the shore, they slow down and their height increases, causing them to break onto the beach.
What order do seismic waves come in?
First P waves, seismic waves that compress and expand the ground like an accordion. Then S waves, seismic waves that vibrate from side to side as well as up and down. And finally Surface waves, they move more slowly than P waves and S waves. But they can produce severe ground movements.
