Question

1. which is caused by shaking a rope?

a p wave
a transverse wave
a surface wave
a longitudinal wave

Explanation:

When you shake a rope, the particles of the rope move perpendicular to the direction of wave - propagation. Transverse waves are characterized by particle motion perpendicular to the wave's direction of travel. P - waves are longitudinal waves in seismology. Surface waves occur at the interface between two media. Longitudinal waves have particle motion parallel to the wave's direction of travel.

Answer:

B. a transverse wave
