SEISMIC WAVES

Which type of wave arrives first during an earthquake?

• Primary (p-wave) waves
• Secondary (s-wave) waves
• Rayleigh Waves
• Love Waves

Main type of seismic waves that can only travel through the surface of the Earth.

• seismic waves

• surface waves

• body waves

• primary waves

This is considered as the fastest kind of seismic waves.

• Love waves

• Body waves

• Primary waves
