how are s waves and surface waves similar?\nboth arrive after p waves.\nboth compress the ground.\nboth travel through liquids.\nboth produce minimal ground motion.
Answer
Brief Explanations:
P - waves are the fastest seismic waves. S - waves and surface waves are slower and arrive after P - waves. S - waves are shear waves and surface waves are complex waves that move near the Earth's surface. They don't compress the ground like P - waves (which are compressional waves), S - waves can't travel through liquids, and surface waves can cause significant ground motion.
Answer:
A. Both arrive after P waves.
