Question

Seismic wave makes a material
particle oscillate in an elliptical path in the
vertical plane (with horizontal motion along
the direction of energy transmission).
(A) P-Waves
(B) S-Waves
(C) Rayleigh - Waves
(D) Love - Waves​

Answer 1

Explanation:

your answer may be b ..s.wave

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is (b) S-waves.

S-waves generally are perpendicular or transverse to its direction of propagation.

Seismic waves are released during an earthquake and have two basic types:

1. Body waves- again classified into P waves and S waves.

2. Surface waves- again classified into Love ( similar to S wave but no vertical motion is present) and Rayleigh.
