Body wave
The primary body wave that is a longitudinal wave is the P-wave (primary wave). It is the fastest seismic wave and travels through the Earth's interior by compressing and expanding the rock in the direction of the wave's propagation.
*sigh* Don't just copy and paste the questions....your answer is "Surface Wave"
body waves
A body wave is a seismic wave that travels through Earths interior.
Body earthquake waves that can penetrate the Earth's core are known as primary waves, or P-waves. They are the fastest seismic waves and can travel through both solid and liquid materials, including the Earth's inner core.
A body wave that does not penetrate the Earth's core is a compressional wave or P-wave. P-waves travel through the Earth by compressing and expanding the material they pass through, but they do not travel through the outer core because the outer core is liquid.
A body wave that doesn't penetrate the Earth's core is a type of seismic wave known as a S wave. S waves, also called secondary waves, are slower than P waves and only travel through solids. They cannot pass through the liquid outer core of the Earth.
A seismic body wave that can penetrate the Earth's core is called a P wave (Primary wave). P waves are the fastest seismic waves and they can travel through both solid and liquid layers of the Earth, including the core.
