Sagot :
Answer:
In P or compressional waves, the vibration of the rock is in the direction of propagation. P waves travel fastest and are the first to arrive from the earthquake. In S or shear waves, rock oscillates perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation.
Answer:
The speed of P waves and S waves increases as they travel deeper into the Earth’s mantle.
They travel through the Earth in curved paths, but they change direction suddenly when they pass through the boundary between substances in different states.
