Question

There’s a blank before it but waves are longitudinal waves cause by an earthquake

Answer 1

Answer:

not entirely sure what your asking but have some notes

Explanation:

Earthquakes generate three types of seismic waves: P (primary) waves, S (secondary) waves and surface waves, which arrive at seismic recording stations one after another. Both P and S waves penetrate the interior of the Earth while surface waves do not. Due to this, P and S waves are known as "body waves". Surface waves arrive last and are the least interesting to seismic tomographers because they don't penetrate deep inside the Earth, therfore provide little information about inacessible terrain.

Below, some of the major differences between P and S waves are highlighted.

P Waves:-

known as LONGITUDINAL waves

or compressional waves

1st to arrive at seismic stations

shakes the ground in the direction they propagates

Travels through the Earth's core
