Answer 2

Primary waves are the first waves that emerge from the epicenter during an earthquake.

• Primary waves also known as the P waves are body waves since they traverse through the earth.
• Their point of origin is the epicenter.
• These are the first waves that reach the seismograph when an earthquake occurs.
• They propagate in the same direction of their motion hence they are a longitudinal form of waves that travel at very high speeds.
• They can travel through all forms of matter, be it a solid, liquid, or gas.
