Question

multiple choice question
which seismic wave causes the ground to move sideways and up and down like an ocean wave?
o secondary wave
o primary wave
o surface wave

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Surface waves are seismic waves that travel along the Earth's surface. They cause the ground to move in a rolling motion, similar to ocean waves. Primary waves (P - waves) are compressional waves that move the ground back - and - forth in the direction of wave propagation. Secondary waves (S - waves) are shear waves that move the ground perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation.

Answer:

surface wave
