Earthquakes consist of several different waves which travel at different speeds P waves arrive first, but are generally too small for humans to notice, but some animals might sense them. Rayleigh waves, Love waves, Secondary waves or S waves and Primary waves or P waves are the four seismic waves. https://youtu.be/Oum1JnrI0XY
