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

A P wave is a type of seismic wave that is caused by an earthquake. P waves are the first seismic waves felt during an earthquake. When the P wave moves, rock particles move back and forth along the direction of the P wave.


How the water level by the rock affected by the wave?

The water level by the rock will rise as the wave approaches, then fall as the wave passes by, creating a temporary increase and decrease in water height. The closer the rock is to the wave action, the more significant the water level fluctuations will be. Additionally, factors such as wave height, frequency, and rock shape can influence how the water level changes.


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.


How do rock particles move during the passage of an s wave through the rock?

Rock particles move perpendicular to the direction of the wave propagation. As the S wave passes through the rock, the particles move in a shearing or side-to-side motion. This movement causes the rock to deform and can result in shaking or ground displacement during an earthquake.
