p waves because they move rock back and forth which squeezes and strecthes the rock as they travel through the rock.
s waves shear rock side to side as they travel through the rock
It is because the epicenter decreases their strenght as it is closer to it
surface waves because p waves and s waves are way faster so here is how it goes from fastest to slowest: is p wave and then s wave and then surface waves
No. Surface waves are slower than both P and S-waves.
P-waves(primary waves) travel faster than S-waves(secondary waves)
P-waves move around 3 km/s faster than s-waves.
no p waves travel faster than s waves
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.
S-waves are stronger, but travel slower and can only travel through solids.
Primary waves travel at 6 to 7 km per second. Secondary waves travel at about 3.5 km per second. which means that the p-wave travels about 3 km. faster
No. Surface waves are slower than both P and S-waves.
They travel faster than S waves
P-waves are faster than s-waves. Both can pass through solid rock, but only p-waves can pass through gases and liquids === ===
