Question

The diagram below shows three types of earthquake waves, labeled A, B, and C at different time intervals.

Answer 1

Which of these statements best describes the three waves?

Wave A makes rocks move parallel to its direction of movement.

Wave B makes rocks move parallel to its direction of movement.

Wave A and Wave B are absorbed by gaseous medium.

Wave A and Wave C are absorbed by gaseous medium.

Answer 2

@countonme123 hello xD

Answer 3

i am pretty sure its

Wave A and Wave B are absorbed by gaseous medium.

Answer 4

@countonme123 wave a and wave b are p-waves and s-waves right? :)

Answer 5

P-waves

Also known as primary waves or compression waves
Travel through the solid and liquid parts of Earth
Fastest earthquake waves
Travel about 5 kilometers per second
Always the first waves to appear on a seismogram
Cause ground to move horizontally back and forth through compression

S-waves

Also known as secondary waves or shear waves
Can travel through Earth’s solid portions only
When they hit the liquid core, S-waves are no longer able to be detected.
A shadow zone is created where earthquake waves are not detected
P-waves bounce off the liquid core. S-waves are absorbed at the core.
Cause ground to move back and forth in an S-shaped pattern

Answer 6

then there is C which is a surface wave :3 Surface Waves include:
Rayleigh waves

Also known as R-waves
intense damage to the surface, especially to buildings
Have a rolling motion, like the waves of the ocean

Love waves

Also known as L-waves
Cause intense damage to the surface, especially to buildings
Have a side-to-side motion similar to the movement of a snake

Answer 7

so, what do u think? XD

Answer 8

@countonme123 ? :P

Answer 9

@Ryaan can u help me please? :)

Answer 10

( Wave A and Wave B are absorbed by gaseous medium.)
Now ask more people what they say.

Answer 11

@Ryaan okay :)

Answer 12

Tag them..If majority says same,,then that would be correct
