An earthquake sends seismic waves outward from the epicenter. The waves travel through different media in different directions. What will be true for all people who feel the earth shaking?(1 point)

Question

Responses

The seismic waves will travel outward at the same speed in all directions.
The seismic waves will travel outward at the same speed in all directions.

The amplitude of the shaking will be the same for all observers.
The amplitude of the shaking will be the same for all observers.

The earth will rise and fall with the same frequency.
The earth will rise and fall with the same frequency.

The seismic waves will be equally far apart for all observers.

Answer 1

The correct response is:

The seismic waves will travel outward at the same speed in all directions.

This is because, despite the variation in media through which the waves travel and potential changes in speed due to different geological conditions, the waves emanate from the epicenter and spread out uniformly at their respective speeds in different directions. The other statements are not necessarily true for all observers.
