Chlamydia is one of the most common STDs, particularly among college-aged men and women. Fortunately, unlike in the old days, it's now quite easy and painless to get tested and treated for a chlamydia infection. In recent years, tests have been developed that can detect chlamydia and be completed in just a few hours.
Seismograms A, B, C, and D. show, in Greenwich time, the arrival times of the. earthquake waves at the four stations. The P-wave generated by this earthquake took 2 minutes. and 40 seconds to reach one of the seismic stations.
The second type of deformation, dynamic motions, are essentially sound waves radiated from the earthquake as it ruptures. While most of the plate-tectonic energy driving fault ruptures is taken up by static deformation, up to 10% may dissipate immediately in the form of seismic waves. The mechanical properties of the rocks that seismic waves travel through quickly organize the waves into two types. Compressional waves, also known as primary or P waves, travel fastest, at speeds between 1.5 and 8 kilometers per second in the Earth's crust. Shear waves, also known as secondary or S waves, travel more slowly, usually at 60% to 70% of the speed of P waves.
