Answer:

FALSE

Step-by-step explanation:

There exist only two types of seismic waves

1) P waves

2) S waves

P waves are compression waves which is produced due to pushing and pulling. These waves can travel trough any medium i.e. Solid, Liquid or Gas and also these waves travels at high speed.

S Waves are secondary waves which travels at slow speed comparative to P waves. These waves can only travel through solid rocks and travels at slower speed with respect to P waves

So given statement is not true.
