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>
The answer is true.
Hope this helps.

A contour line<span> or isoline </span>connects points<span> on a map that are of </span>equal<span> value. Examples of contour </span>lines<span> or isolines are isobars (pressure) and isotherms (</span>temperature<span>).
