The first type of seismic wave to be recorded in a seismic station, these compression waves are the fastest and travel through solids, liquids, and gases.
The first kind of body wave is the P wave or primary wave.
This is the fastest kind of seismic wave, and, consequently, the first to 'arrive' at a seismic station.
The P wave can move through solid rock and fluids, like water or the liquid layers of the earth.
The P wave is designated the primary preliminary wave because it is the first to arrive at a seismic station after an earthquake.
