How are P waves different from S waves?(1 point) Responses P waves push and pull in the same direction as the wave, and S waves move up and down. P waves push and pull in the same direction as the wave, and S waves move up and down. P waves move under Earth’s surface, and S waves move along Earth’s surface. P waves move under Earth’s surface, and S waves move along Earth’s surface. P waves travel slowly, and S waves travel quickly. P waves travel slowly, and S waves travel quickly. P waves cause damage, and S waves do not cause damage.

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, whereas S waves (secondary waves) are shear waves that move perpendicular to the direction of wave travel, causing particles to move up and down or side to side.
