Final Answer:
The main parts of a wave are the crest (high point), trough (low point), wavelength (distance from crest to crest or trough to trough), and amplitude (height from centerline to crest). Seismology is the study of seismic waves. Body waves travel through Earth’s interior (P-waves and S-waves), while surface waves travel along Earth’s surface and cause the most damage. P-waves are faster, move through solids and liquids, and push/pull materials. S-waves are slower, only move through solids, and shake materials side-to-side or up-and-down.
