Answer:
Primary Waves are also called P waves or Push waves, travel the fastest and thus are the first to arrive. Travelling at an average speed of 6 km per/s, these waves cause relatively smaller displacement (low termors).
Secondary waves or S waves or Shake waves, arrive the next, moving at lesser speeds than the P waves. These waves produce a strong shaking effect. These do not pass through liquids.
