Answer: S waves description include the following statement: THEY MOVE SIDE TO SIDE, THEY ARRIVE AFTER P WAVES, THEY TRAVEL THROUGH SOLIDS.

Explanation: -S wave moves side to side because its motion/oscillation is perpendicular to the direction of the wave propagation. This type of wave is known as TRANSVERSE WAVE.

-S wave arrives after P wave because they are slower; P wave speed is about 6.8km per second while S wave speed is about 3.8km per second.

Again, S wave energy is not easily transmitted through the medium it's moving compared to P wave because it's wave motion is TRANSVERSE WAVE which can also be called SHEAR WAVE.

S wave, therefore, is the second wave you feel during an earthquake.

-S wave travels through solid rocks because rocks have shear strength/rigidity. Shear strength holds rocks together and allows them to resist gravity pull. Therefore, the shear strength in rocks allows shear wave which is found in S wave to move through them.

amm1812

Answer:

Option (4)

Explanation:

Tsunamis are usually defined as the large and extensive wave that occurs in the oceans and seas due to the occurrence of an earthquake below the oceans, underwater landscape and other strong volcanic explosions.

They are mostly initiated by earthquakes, and these types of disasters are unpredictable. The movement of seismic waves is responsible for the generation of tsunamis over the ocean water body. The occurrence of tsunamis is somewhat predictable, by observing the changes that occur in terms of the height of sea level. By making these observations, immediate warnings are given, and the coastal areas are vacated at the earliest.

These tsunamis produce larger or smaller waves depending on the magnitude of the earthquake.

Thus, the correct answer is option (4).
