Question

multiple-choice question

1. what are the two types of body waves?

d. p wave and l wave
c. p wave and s wave
b. s wave and l wave
a. p wave and q wave

Explanation:

In seismology (a subfield of Natural Science, specifically Geology/Physics related to earthquakes), body waves are seismic waves that travel through the interior of the Earth. The two main types of body waves are P - waves (primary waves, compressional waves) and S - waves (secondary waves, shear waves). L - waves are surface waves, not body waves, and Q - waves are not a standard type of body wave. So the correct option is the one with P wave and S wave.

Answer:

c. P wave and S wave
