What type of wave are P-waves?
Think about how they move in relation to particle vibration.
Name one medium through which P-waves can travel.
Consider the states of matter.
What type of waves are the fastest seismic waves?
Remember which wave arrives first at seismographs.
True or False: P-waves can travel through both liquids and gases.
Think about how sound travels in different materials.
If P-waves travel faster than S-waves, explain how this affects initial emergency response during an earthquake.
Consider how the time difference influences response times.
Calculate the distance to a hypocentre given a P-wave arrival time of 5 seconds and an average speed of 8 km/s.
