In the field of seismology, I specialize in the study of seismic waves and their behavior as they propagate through the Earth's layers. When it comes to understanding what the P wave stands for, it's important to differentiate it from other types of seismic waves. **

Two types of seismic wave exist, P- and S-waves. They are different in the way that they travel through the Earth. P-waves (P stands for primary) arrive at the detector first. They are longitudinal waves which mean the vibrations are along the same direction as the direction of travel.
