Question

What does the graph show?

The S and P Waves travel the same distance through Earth's crust in the same amount of time.
The P Wave travels through Earth's crust more quickly than the S wave travels.
It takes the P Wave 18 minutes to travel 6,000 km through Earth's crust.
It takes the Swave 11 minutes to travel 8,000 km through Earth's crust.

Answer 1

Answer:B

The P wave travels through Earth’s crust more quickly than the S wave travels.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The P Wave travels through Earth's crust more quickly than the S wave travels

Step-by-step explanation:

P and S waves are types of seismic waves that travel through Earth's crust.

Some basic data we can read from this graph are:

- it takes around 13 minutes for P wave to travel 10000 kilometers.

- it takes around 25 minutes for S wave to travel 10000 kilometers.

Based on this data, we can conclude that, since P wave takes less time then S wave to travel the same distance, that means that it moves through Earth's interior more quickly.
