Question

20 POINTS AND BRAINIEST describe the wave motion and mechanical wave movement of a seismic P wave

Answer 1

P wave. P-wave. a longitudinal wave that advances by alternate compression and expansion in a solid or fluid medium, like a sound wave.

Answer 2

A mechanical wave is a wave that is an oscillation of matter, and therefore transfers energy through a medium. While waves can move over long distances, the movement of the medium of transmission—the material—is limited. Therefore, the oscillating material does not move far from its initial equilibrium position.
