Match the wave motion with the correct seismic wave.

P wave
S wave
Surface wave

A. motion that involves compression and expansion of the material through which it passes; may pass through solids, liquids, and gases

B. motion that involves oscillation perpendicular to the direction of propagation; only passes through solids

C. motion at Earth's surface that may move materials side to side, or up and down

Respuesta :

I think that the correct answer is A .

P wave = A

S wave = B

Surface wave = C

What are p waves ?

"A P wave, or compressional wave, is a seismic body wave that shakes the ground back and forth in the same direction and the opposite direction as the direction the wave is moving."

What are  s waves ?

"An S wave, or shear wave, is a seismic body wave that shakes the ground back and forth perpendicular to the direction the wave is moving."

What are surface waves ?

"A surface wave is a mechanical wave that propagates along the interface between differing media. A common example is gravity waves along the surface of liquids, such as ocean waves. Gravity waves can also occur within liquids, at the interface between two fluids with different densities."
