How are p waves and s waves similar? check all that apply

they shake the ground

they travel through solids

they arrive at the same time

they turn into surface waves

they vibrate from side to side

both P waves and S waves can travell through solids. In advance, P waves can travel through gasses too but S waves can't.

The correct answers are they shake the ground and they travel through solids.

Explanation:

When an earthquake occurs, waves are sent in various directions across the earth's surface.

These waves can be classified into two types: Body Waves and Surface Waves.

Within body waves we have two types: primary (P) and secondary (S).

Both travel through the interior of the earth from the place where the earthquake occurred, to several directions that are in the distance.

The P waves are the fastest and the first ones, and the S waves are the ones that come later.

Both waves shake the ground, being that only the P waves do it in the direction in which they are directed and the S waves do so perpendicularly or transversally.

Also, both waves can move through solid materials, but only P waves can move through liquid materials.
