example of a seismic wave

1 answer

An example of a seismic wave is a P-wave, also known as a primary wave. P-waves are the fastest seismic waves and can travel through solid rock, as well as fluids and gases. They are typically the first waves recorded by seismographs during an earthquake and are responsible for the initial shaking or jolting felt by individuals near the epicenter.
