Earthquake waves include P - waves (primary waves), S - waves (secondary waves), and surface waves. P - waves can travel through solids, liquids, and gases in Earth's interior. S - waves can only travel through solids and are absorbed by liquid mediums. Surface waves travel along the Earth's surface. Wave A is likely a P - wave as it arrives first, Wave B could be an S - wave, and Wave C are surface waves. P - waves and S - waves travel through Earth's interior.
