2 © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc. P or Primary Waves: Compression/Expansion (“Sound”) Solid and Liquid, through the Earth (Body Wave) S or Secondary Waves: Transverse Solid Only, through the Earth (Body Wave) Surface (Love/Raleigh) Waves: Transverse/Circular (“Ocean”) Solid Only, Near land surface

3 © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc. P or Primary Waves: Fastest – Arrives First S or Secondary Waves: Middle Surface (Love/Raleigh) Waves: Slowest – Arrives Last Time: 7:14 = 14 minutes after 7 oclock Difference in Arrive Times between the P and S Waves 7:17.4 – 7:14.2, ignore the 7:00 17.4 minutes – 14.2 minutes = ? 3.2 Minutes Two cars leave Rock Hill, Galleria Mall, I-77 at the same time to Charleston. One drive 60 mph (S Wave) and one drive 80 mph (P Wave) At Columbia, 60 miles, 60 minutes & 45 minutes (15 minutes Difference) At Charleston, 240 miles, 3 hours and 3.75 hours (45 minutes Difference)
