Brief Explanations

For question 9: All seismic waves (Primary, Secondary, Surface) originate from the focus (hypocenter) of an earthquake, where the rock rupture first occurs.
For question 10: Primary (P) waves are compressional waves that travel through solid, liquid, and gas media, making them the fastest seismic waves, arriving at recording stations before S and surface waves.

Answer:

  1. Primary, Secondary, and Surface Wave
  2. Primary Wave
