P waves (aka primary waves) are the fastest waves. It's a seismic body wave that shakes the ground back and forth in the same direction and the opposite direction as the direction the wave is moving.

S waves (aka secondary waves) move through the earth by causing particles in rocks to move side to side

hope that helps :)

This is why S-waves arrive as secondary waves at the Earth's surface. There is another importantdifference between P-waves and S-waves. Although both can pass through solid rock, only P-waves can also pass through gases and liquids.

mihalych1998 [28]

More clouds does nothing because it doesnt do any thing but make the groung hotter

More wind does nothing because it has nothing to do with the water table

More precipitation does nothing because the water would just run through the ground

So the answer would have to be less porous soil

Rzqust [24]

The correct answer is - A. Mountains in Iraq and Oman.

The pressure created from the Arabian Plate pushing towards the Eurasian Plate has lifted the terrain at some parts, most notably at the territory of Iraq and Oman. The most noticeable mountains in here are the Zagros Mountains in Iraq. These mountains are of great significance for the Kurdish population that considers them as sacred mountains. The pressure also affects the terrain in Iran where the Iranian Plateau is created.
