Question

Which seismic waves is the last to arrive at a nearby seismic station and be recorded on a seismogram?

Answer 1

Answer:

Surface waves are the last to arrive at the seismic station.

Explanation:

A seismogram in a seismic station can capture three types of waves, the surface waves, the S waves and the P waves. The P waves are the fastest of all and tend to be captured with speed, moreover, they are always the first to be received at the station. Secondly, the S waves are received, and finally the surface probes, which are the slowest.
