Those are the P-waves, which are the fastest and weakest.
The type of seismic wave that arrives at the surface first and moves by compressing and expanding the ground like an accordion is called a primary wave or P-wave. P-waves are the fastest seismic waves and are capable of traveling through solids, liquids, and gases.
Two examples of longitudinal waves are sound waves and seismic waves. Sound waves travel through a medium by compressing and expanding the material in the same direction as the wave's propagation. Seismic waves are produced by earthquakes and move through the Earth's interior by compressing and expanding the rock particles in the direction of the wave.
The fastest waves that compress and expand the ground like an accordion are primary waves (P-waves). These seismic waves are the first to arrive after an earthquake and travel through solids, liquids, and gases. They cause particles in the ground to move in the same direction as the wave itself, resulting in the compressional and expansion effects.
A jack hammer creates longitudinal waves, which are mechanical waves that travel through a medium by compressing and expanding the material in the same direction as the wave's motion.
Primary waves (P-waves) are the seismic waves that arrive at the surface first and move by compressing and expanding the ground, similar to an accordion. They are the fastest seismic waves and can travel through solids, liquids, and gases.

The type of seismic waves that arrive at the surface first and move by compressing and expanding the ground like an accordion are called primary (P-waves) or compressional waves. They are the fastest seismic waves and can travel through solids, liquids, and gases.
