No. Wave Rock, in Western Australia, was believed to have been formed by the combination of chemical weathering in the subsurface, before Wave Rock was even fully exposed, together with gradual fluvial erosion of the softer granite beneath the upper surface.

How do rock particles move during the passage of a P wave through the wave?

During the passage of a P wave, rock particles move in the same direction that the wave is traveling. The particles experience compression and expansion as the wave passes, causing them to oscillate back and forth parallel to the wave's direction. Rock particles return to their original position once the wave has passed.
