Question 10 • WCA 4130 Earth and Space Science 1st Quarter 26-27
P waves are the fastest seismic waves, so they arrive first. S waves and surface waves both arrive later than P waves, making “Both arrive after P waves” the correct choice. S waves move material side to side or up and down, while surface waves travel along Earth’s surface; neither is a compressional wave like a P wave.
