Which of these statements best explains why p waves arrive earlier than s waves at the seismic station?

a. s waves are generated after p waves arrive at the surface
b. s waves make longer lines on the seismogram than p waves
c. p waves are created first and s waves originate from p waves when they are reflected by solid rocks
d. p waves move straight through all medium and s waves move only through solids in a curvy motion

D. P waves move straight through all medium and S waves move only through solids in a curvy motion

Explanation:

The first kind of wave that is mentioned here is the P wave. This is also called the primary wave. This type of wave can move through solid rock and fluids. Because of this, this is the wave that arrives first at a seismic station. These are compressional waves. On the other hand, S waves are the second type of wave that you feel in an earthquake. These are slower and do not move through liquid mediums.

answer: the answer is a
