Retrospective plans, otherwise known as retros, are claim sensitive workers compensation rating programs specifically designed and used when an employer is of the size required to justify its use.
Q: In which order will seismic waves from an earthquake arrive? A. P waves, S waves, L waves B. L waves, S waves, P waves C. P waves, L waves, S waves D. S waves, P waves, L waves. A: P waves, S waves, L waves is the order of the seismic waves in which an earthquake arrives. baby_SJ01|Points 310|.
A wave is a vibration that transfers energy from one place to another without transferring matter (solid, liquid or gas). Light and sound both travel in this way. Energy released during an earthquake travels in the form of waves around the Earth. 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.
