[TG.05] The diagram below shows three types of earthquake waves, labeled A, B, and C at different time intervals. The picture shows three waves labeled A, B, and C and a scale showing time in minutes below the waves. Wave A is the first wave Which of these statements best compares the three waves? (2 points) Wave B can travel through liquids but Wave A cannot travel through liquids. Wave A can travel through liquids but Wave B cannot travel through liquids. Wave B is reflected by the liquid core but Wave C is transmitted through the core. Wave C is reflected by the liquid core but Wave B is transmitted through the core.

The correct option is:

Wave A can travel through liquids but Wave B cannot travel through liquids.

Explanation:

As the diagram is not given in the question, I've attached it below so it makes sense

First we need to identify each waves, for that we need to know how to read a seismograph.

The first waves at A is a primary waves or compressional waves. They can travel through solid,liquid and gas and has a higher speed than secondary or surface ways.

The second wave at point B is Secondary wave. These are shear waves and can only pass through solids.

The third wave at C are surface waves which can only travel through the crust.

Seeing these characteristics, 2nd statements is correct.

diagram is missing, but i will try to explain your doubt.

answer:

amplitude is the maximum displacement or distance moved on a point of a vibrating body or wave measured from its equilibrium position.it is equal to half the length of vibration path.
