Question

P waves travel through A. solids B. liquids C. solids, liquids and gases D. solids and liquids

Answer 1

The correct answer is D solids and liquids

Step-by-step explanation:

The fastest waves created by an earthquake are P-waves . These waves travel through the Earth's interior structure and can pass through both solid and molten rock. They shake the ground back and forth but do little damage as they only move buildings up and down. P-wave is one of the two major types of seismic waves in seismology, where the other type is called S waves.

Answer 2

Answer:The correct answer is option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

The P waves are the longitudinal earth quake waves which travels through the interior of the the earth. One of the type of seismic wave which travels fastest then other types of seismic waves.

The letter 'P' in P wave stand for pressure wave(formed of compressions and rarefactions) or primary wave (as it has highest velocity than other waves).

These waves can be transmitted through solids, liquids and gases.

Hence, the correct answer is option C.
