S waves
- The motion of the medium is perpendicular to direction of propagation of the wave
.
- They can propagate only through solids and not through gases or liquids
.
- They travel with less speed
.
P waves
- These are compression waves
.
- These waves produces a force along the direction of propagation
.
- They can propagate through solids, gases and liquids.
- P waves are smaller than s waves
.
- They travel with 60% greater speed than S waves
.
P-waves travel 60% faster than S-waves on average because the interior part of the Earth does not react the same way as the s wave and P wave.
The statement that true about the temperature of a gas is at <span> a higher temperature, the particles have a higher average kinetic energy. The rest of the choices do not answer the question above.</span>
