The earth will rise and fall with the same frequency.
Explanation: The source (the earthquake) sets the wave frequencies, and frequency does not change as the seismic wave travels (though amplitude, speed and wavelength can change because different materials absorb, slow, or scatter the waves). Amplitude, wave speed, and wavelength can vary with direction and local geology, so the other statements are false.
