Question

Which statements describe surface waves? Check all that apply.

They arrive before S waves.
They travel slower than P waves.
They result in much ground motion.
They are produced by P and S waves.
They travel deep below Earth's surface.

Answer 1

The correct answers are "They travel slower than P waves", "They result in much ground motion" and " They are produced by P and S waves".

Step-by-step explanation:

A surface wave can travel through the existing interface between Earth and air, as well as between Earth and water. A clear example of this type of waves are Love and Rayleigh waves. They travel slower than primary waves, produce large movements in the ground and are produced by primary and secondary waves.

Have a nice day!
