Question

How do S and P waves move through a solid material?

Answer 1

P waves move quickly and S waves move slowly through solids,

Explanation:

S and P waves can move through a solid material. P waves generally moves quickly and S-waves move slowly through solids.

S and P waves elastic seismic waves.

• P waves are primary waves travels through any material medium. They move faster than S-waves.
• S waves are secondary waves that moves through solid only. They are shear waves.
• They cannot move through liquids and gases because these materials cannot be sheared.

At a seismic station, P waves arrives first because they have a higher velocity
