Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Tranform boundary

2.The direct P wave arrives first because its path is through the higher speed, dense rocks deeper in the earth. The PP (one bounce) and PPP (two bounces) waves travel more slowly than the direct P because they pass through shallower, lower velocity rocks. The different S waves arrive after the P waves.
