Earthquakes are essentially sound waves—called seismic waves—traveling through the earth. Because the earth is solid, it can support both longitudinal and transverse seismic waves. The speed of longitudinal waves, called PP waves, is 8000 m/sm/s. Transverse waves, called SS waves, travel at a slower 4500 m/sm/s. A seismograph records the two waves from a distant earthquake. The SS wave arrives 2.0 minmin after the PP wave. Assume that the waves travel in straight lines, although actual seismic waves follow more complex routes.
