What else can I help you with?
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 are two types of seismic waves that travel through earth's interior?
The two types of seismic waves that travel through the Earth are P and S waves. The P wave means primary wave and the S wave is secondary. The wave that travels around the Earth's crust is the L wave, which stands for the Love wave.Hope this helps :)
What are the two types of seismic surface waves?
body waves and surface waves
What do earthquakes produce that travel through Earth?
Earthquakes produce seismic waves that travel through the Earth's interior. There are two main types of seismic waves: P-waves (primary waves) and S-waves (secondary waves). These waves can be detected and studied to better understand the properties of the Earth's interior.
What seismic waves move the fastest?
Primary (P) waves move the fastest among seismic waves. They are compressional waves that travel through the Earth's interior, and can travel through solids, liquids, and gases.
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

What are two kinds of sesmic waves?
Two types of seismic waves are body waves (P-waves and S-waves) and surface waves (Love waves and Rayleigh waves). Body waves travel through the Earth's interior, while surface waves travel along the Earth's surface.
Are surface waves the fastest seismic waves?
No, they are in fact the slowest! The fastest seismic waves are P-waves.
What type of seismic wave are P waves and S waves?
P and S waves are body waves.
Seismic waves that shear rock side to side are called?
seismic waves actually the correct answer is S waves. trust me if you put seismic waves it will be wrong
What seismic waves occur arrive after p waves?
Secondary waves.
What are the three seismic waves?
They are P Waves S Waves and Surface Waves.
What types of waves are p waves and s waves called?
seismic waves
Seismic waves can exists as?
P waves, S waves and surface waves

Longitudinal seismic waves are know as?
Primary or P waves
