Which seismic wave arrives last at a seismograph station?

Surface waves arrive last at a seismograph station. These waves move along the Earth's surface and are the slowest of the seismic waves, but they can cause the most damage during an earthquake.


Which seismograph station would have recorded P-waves last?

The seismograph station closest to the earthquake epicenter would have recorded P-waves first, followed by stations farther away. Since P-waves are the fastest seismic waves, they are the first to arrive at a seismograph station after an earthquake.


After an earthquake which type of seismic waves reach seismometers last?

A surface wave is the last seismic wave to arrive after an earthquake.


Can a surface wave go through a earthquake and a seismograph?

a surface wave is a earthquake it comes last. It goes Primary waves, Secondary waves, and Surface waves.


Can someone help me get the music in Halo Reach where you are riding with Emile on mongooses on the last mission?

station yourself where they come out.


What is the transverse wave that is the second to reach the location of an earthquake?

These are known as the seismic waves or the s waves. They will reach the earthquake location second after the first shock.


What is the order in which seismic waves are recorded by a seismometer?

Primary waves (P waves) arrive at a seismograph first. Then, Secondary waves arrive. Lastly, Surface waves occur and cause the most damage.


What waves are detected first because they move so fast.?

There are three types of seismic waves released by an earthquake. Primary waves (P waves) are longitudinal or compressional waves and travel through the Earth's interior. They are first to arrive at a seismic station (velocity 5-8 km/s). Secondary waves (S waves) are a transverse or shear wave and move at a lower speed than that of primary waves (velocity 3-5 km/s). They arrive second at the seismic station. Finally, there are surface waves which as the name suggests travel along the Earth's surface, there are two main types (the Love wave and Rayleigh wave) and these are the slowest types of seismic waves (velocity 2.5 - 4.5 km/s) and hence arrive last at the seismic station.


What is the duration of The Last Station?

The duration of The Last Station is 1.87 hours.


When was The Last Station created?

The Last Station was created on 2009-12-23.


When was The Last Station released?

The Last Station was released on 01/15/2010.


What was the Production Budget for The Last Station?

The Production Budget for The Last Station was $18,000,000.
