Answer;
S waves travel through solids or very dense, glassy liquids. P waves travel through solids, liquids, and gasses.
Explanation;
- P-waves and S-waves are body waves that propagate through the planet. P-waves are the fastest waves created by an earthquake. They travel through the Earth’s interior and can pass through both solid and molten rock.
- P-waves are compression waves that apply a force in the direction of propagation.
- S waves are seismic body waves that shakes the ground back and forth perpendicular to the direction the wave is moving. S waves propagate more slowly through the earth as compared to compressional waves and arrive second.
