Answer:

False

Explanation:

It is the P-waves that travels the fastest and thus it is the first to arrive after a ground shaking. S waves also known as shear waves travel slower than the P –waves because they travel by shearing the material through which they propagate instead of changing its volume. P-wave travel with a speed ranging between 1 to 14 Km/Sec, while S –waves travel with a speed ranging between 1 to 8 Km/sec.
