Question

Diferences between primary and secondary seismic waves.

Answer 1

primary seismic waves- These waves are of a higher frequency than surface waves. The first kind of body wave is the P wave or primary wave. This is the fastest kind of seismic wave, and, consequently, the first to 'arrive' at a seismic station. The P wave can move through solid rock and fluids, like water or the liquid layers of the earth.

secondary seismic waves-Secondary waves cause the rocks they pass through to change in shape. These waves are the second fastest traveling seismic waves (after primary waves) and can travel through solids but not through liquids or gases.

✔secondary waves they travel only through solid and cannot penetrate through the denser molten metal this way travel along a curved path only

✔primary waves we can pass through gas liquid solid primary waves travel faster their velocity increases as they passed through mantal
