Visit my slide show to know more on the behaviors of earthquake waves. The speed of primary wave is about 13 to 17 kilometers/second.Passes through all mediums. The speed of secondary wave is about half of the primary wave. Will not pass through liquid.Both are generated from the point called focus. The third and forth waves are surface waves .These all are called surface waves coming because of reflection and refraction of those body waves.The arrival time difference between p and s is about 8 kilo meters per second. There fore by knowing difference of the arrival time of p wave and s wave help us to find the distance of epicenter.My web site
