At some convergent boundaries, an oceanic plate collides with a continental plate. Oceanic crust tends to be denser and thinner than continental crust, so the denser oceanic crust gets bent and pulled under, or subducted, beneath the lighter and thicker continental crust. This forms what is called a subduction zone.
Earthquakes generate compressional waves (p-waves) and shear waves (s-waves). Compared to the speed of shear waves in a given earth material, the speed of compressional waves is the fastest.
Because of this the compressional waves are the first waves to arrive on a complete record of ground shaking. They are also called P waves, which derives from this fact - P is an abbreviation for primary, first wave to arrive.<span>They typically travel at speeds between ~1 and ~14 km/sec.</span>
