Compare and contrast the P-wave travel time and S-wave travel time.

P waves are recorded earlier than S waves, because they travel at a higher velocity. SF Table 7.1 shows that P waves have a higher velocity than S waves when traveling through several mineral types. The speed at which seismic waves travel depends on the properties of the material that they are passing through.
