Question

all of the following are true about p - waves except: select one: a. they are the fastest seismic waves b. they are a type of surface wave c. movement is forward and back along a line in the same direction that the wave moves (compressional waves) d. they can travel through solids, liquids and gases

Explanation:

P - waves are body waves, not surface waves. They are the fastest seismic waves, are compressional (move forward - and - back along the wave's direction), and can travel through solids, liquids, and gases.

Answer:

B. they are a type of surface wave
