Question

how are s waves and surface waves similar?
both arrive after p waves.
both compress the ground.
both travel through liquids.
both produce minimal ground motion.

Explanation:

P waves are the fastest seismic waves, arriving first. S waves (secondary waves) travel slower than P waves, and surface waves are the slowest of all seismic waves, so both arrive after P waves. S waves are shear waves that do not compress ground and cannot travel through liquids, while surface waves cause large, destructive ground motion, eliminating the other options.

Answer:

A. Both arrive after P waves.
