1.     What is the difference between a P-wave and a S-wave?

• P-waves and S-waves travel at the same speed through all materials.
• P-waves are faster and can travel through solids, liquids, and gases, while S-waves are slower and can only travel through solids.
• S-waves can travel through liquids and gases, while P-waves cannot.
• P-waves are slower and can only travel through solids.
