Final answer:
The correct sequence of seismic wave arrivals during an earthquake is P waves, S waves, and Surface waves.
Option A.
Step-by-step explanation:
In an earthquake, the different arrivals of seismic waves occur in the following order: A) P waves ... S waves ... Surface waves.
P waves are the first to arrive at seismograph stations. They are the fastest seismic waves and can travel through both solid and liquid material.
Next, S waves arrive. These waves are slower than P waves and can only travel through solid material. Finally, Surface waves arrive, which are the slowest and most damaging seismic waves.
