Seismic Waves
P waves (primary)
They are longitudinal so they cause the ground to move up and down
They pass through solids and liquids
They go faster through more dense material
S waves (secondary)
They are transverse so they cause the ground to move sideways
They ONLY pass through solids (hint: s wave = solids)
They go faster through more dense material
