Question

What is the difference between body waves and surface waves?

1.Surface waves cannot pass through the Earth's mantle but travel along the Earth's crust. They are more destructive than body waves.

2.Surface waves travel through both the mantle and along Earth's surface but are slower than body waves.

3.Surface waves travel through the Earth's mantle, are much faster than the more destructive body waves.

4.Surface waves travel only through the Earth's crust and are much faster but less destructive than body waves.

Answer 1

Answer:

Body waves travel through the interior of the Earth. Surface waves travel across the surface. Surface waves decay more slowly with distance than body waves, which travel in three dimensions. Particle motion of surface waves is larger than that of body waves, so surface waves tend to cause more damage.
