D they push or pull particles in the direction the wave is traveling. P waves are a type of seismic wave that travels through the Earth's interior and causes particles in the Earth to move in the same direction as the wave. They are also known as compressional waves because they cause the particles to be compressed and then stretched out as the wave passes through.
