The correct answer is (B) they travel faster than S waves

As the interior of the earth is incompressible, the P-waves moves much faster and transmit their energy through the medium and travel very fast as compared to the S waves. In case of S waves, they are slow because the movement of medium is perpendicular to the direction of propagation of waves’ waves travel 60 times faster than S waves. The variation in speed of travel is because the earth reacts differently to both the waves.

"what advantage do organisms that reproduce sexually have over organisms that reproduce asexually?"
makvit [3.9K]
Organisms that reproduce sexually have greater genetic and thus characteristic variations, and so, are able to withstand more selection pressures if they so happen to change or become greater. This increases the chances of survival for that species itself.

Organisms that reproduce asexually are genetically identical to each other. They are unlikely to withstand any changes in selection pressures.

Hope this helps! :)
