Question

How are p waves and s waves similar? check all that apply

Answer 1

both P waves and S waves can travell through solids.In advance, P waves can travel through gasses too but S waves can't.

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answers are they shake the ground and they travel through solids.

Explanation:

When an earthquake occurs, waves are sent in various directions across the earth's surface.

These waves can be classified into two types: Body Waves and Surface Waves.

Within body waves we have two types: primary (P) and secondary (S).

Both travel through the interior of the earth from the place where the earthquake occurred, to several directions that are in the distance.

The P waves are the fastest and the first ones, and the S waves are the ones that come later.

Both waves shake the ground, being that only the P waves do it in the direction in which they are directed and the S waves do so perpendicularly or transversally.

Also, both waves can move through solid materials, but only P waves can move through liquid materials.
