Push waves, or compressional waves, also known as P-waves, are a type of seismic wave characterized by longitudinal vibrations of the Earth's crust. They compress and expand material in the direction of wave movement.
More Information
P-waves are crucial for understanding seismology as they travel fastest through the Earth's interior, providing early signals of seismic activity.
Tips
A common mistake is to confuse push waves with surface waves; remember that push waves (P-waves) move through the Earth's interior, not on its surface.
