Answer: P-waves are the fastest, can travel through solids, liquids, and gases. S-waves can only travel through solids. Surface waves are the slowest, most destructive

Step-by-step explanation:

P-waves can travel through both solid materials like rock and fluids like liquid and gas. They travel much faster than the other seismic waves. For example, some animals have been known to hear P-waves and react even before the shaking of the ground begins

S-waves can only pass through solids; they disappear in liquids and gases

Seismic waves are surface waves which roll over the surface of the earth. They can be found during volcanic activity and landslides
