⭐ PRIMARY WAVES -

1] Primary or Pushing waves are the first earthquake waves to be recorded on a seismogram.

Answer 2

✔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
