Question

Fill in the blanks using the options below:

S Waves (secondary waves), Surface waves, P waves (Primary waves)

1. _______ waves vibrate both side to side and up and down.
2. _______ wave is the first to arrive during an earthquake.
3. _______ wave may make the ground roll.

Answer 1

1. S waves(secondary waves)

2. P waves (primary waves)

3. Surface waves(Rayleigh waves)

Step-by-step explanation:

Secondary waves known as s waves is a kind of body waves that travels slowly and usually the rocks it travel is shifted up and down as it travel through it.

Primary waves or p waves is a kind of body waves that travels fast and usually arrive first before any waves during an earthquake. The body it travels is usually compressed and then stretched.

Surface waves comes after the body waves and exist in the form of Rayleigh and Love waves . As the name exist they are dominant on the earth surface and are known for building collapse . The Rayleigh waves is known as a ground roll waves because it causes most of the ground shaking.
