Question

which statement describes seismic waves?
they carry energy.
they move in one direction
they originate from the epicenter.
they only vibrate at earths surface.

Explanation:

Seismic waves are waves of energy caused by earthquakes. They can move in multiple directions (so "move in one direction" is wrong). They originate from the focus (not the epicenter, so that option is wrong). They can travel through different layers of the Earth (not just vibrate at the surface, so that option is wrong). All waves carry energy, and seismic waves are no exception.

Answer:

They carry energy.
