Question:
5.how do rocks particles move during passage of S wave through the rock?
A.in a rolling circular motion
B.in a rolling elliptical motion
C.perpendicular to the direction of wave travel
D.back and forth parallel to the direction of wave travel
Answer:
As S waves move, they displace rock particles outward, pushing Them perpendicular to the path of the waves. This results in the first period of rolling associated with earthquakes. Unlike P waves, S waves don't move straight through the Earth.
- Letter: C
