explaining how the energy of an earthquake travels\nselect the correct responses to the questions from the drop - down menus.\nwhich type of wave vibrates both side to side and up and down?\nwhich type of wave is the first to arrive during an earthquake?\nwhich type of wave may make the ground roll?

Answer

Answer:

  1. Surface - wave (Love waves and Rayleigh waves can vibrate side - to - side and up - and - down. Rayleigh waves have an elliptical motion which can be thought of as having components of side - to - side and up - and - down vibrations).
  2. P - wave (P - waves are the fastest seismic waves and are the first to arrive during an earthquake).
  3. Surface - wave (Rayleigh waves cause the ground to roll as they have an elliptical motion similar to the motion of waves on the ocean surface).

Explanation:

Step1: Identify wave with complex vibration

Surface - waves like Love and Rayleigh can vibrate in multiple directions.

Step2: Determine first - arriving wave

P - waves are compressional waves and travel fastest.

Step3: Find wave causing ground roll

Rayleigh surface - waves cause rolling motion of the ground.
