Seismic waves travel at different speeds according to type.

What is the speed of seismic waves from fastest to slowest?


A. P waves, S waves, L waves


B. P waves, L waves, S waves


C. L waves, S waves, P waves


D. S waves, L waves, P waves

Respuesta :

A. P waves, S waves, L waves,

The correct option is A.P waves, S waves, L waves

The following information should be considered:

  • P-wave is the main body wave; the first seismic wave that should be detected by seismographs; and capable of move via both liquid and solid rock.
  • S Wav is the secondary body waves that oscillate the ground perpendicular to the direction of wave travel. They travel about 1.7 times slower than P waves.
  • Love Waves is the surface waves that move parallel to the Earth’s surface and perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation.
