P Waves travel through...

• Solids
• Liquids
• Both

S Waves travel through...

• Soilds
• Liquids
• Both

Which kind of waves travel through the Earth’s core?

• P waves
• S waves
• Both

We know there are two layers to the Earth’s core because...

• S Waves stop at the outer core
• P Waves bend as they reach inner core
• P Waves bend as they outer core
• All of the above

Look at the image.

Which statement can be concluded based upon the information in the seismogram?

• S waves travel faster than P waves

• P waves travel faster than S waves

• P waves initially travel faster, but S waves accelerate and overtake the P waves, so they reach the surface first

• P waves and S waves travel at the same speed, but P waves arrive at the surface first because the earthquake releases them earlier

Which type of wave arrives first during an earthquake?

• Primary (p-wave) waves

• Secondary (s-wave) waves

• Surface Waves

Which Seismic Wave is pictured?

Which is the strength of an earthquake?

• Plate boundaries

• Magnitude

• Fault

• Seismic

Main type of seismic waves that can only travel through the surface of the Earth.
