The correct response is:
**P waves push and pull in the same direction as the wave, and S waves move up and down.**
P waves (primary waves) are compressional waves that move in the same direction as the wave travels, while S waves (secondary waves) are shear waves that move the ground up and down or side to side, perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation.
