Earthquakes are usually caused by tectonic plates slipping past each other. An earthquake generates seismic waves of energy that travel through the ground. What would you expect to happen when a seismic wave passes from the ground into a body of water?
A. The wave's energy would be absorbed.
B. The wave's speed would increase or decrease.
C. The wave would change from a longitudinal to a transverse wave.
D. The wave would switch from a mechanical wave to an electromagnetic wave.
