Answer:

P waves, S waves, L waves and Rayleigh Waves.

Step-by-step explanation:

The 4 types of seismic waves which are S-waves, P-waves, L-waves and Rayleigh Waves arrive at a seismograph station in this order:

The first waves that arrive are the P-waves which are the fastest waves of all 4 of them. The second waves that arrive at the station are S-waves followed by L waves and Rayleigh waves.

I hope this answer helps.
