SSC GD 2023 PYQ — Question 35

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. P-waves.

In an earthquake, the movement of rocks produces vibrations, which are called seismic waves.

There are two main types:

1. Primary (P) waves: These are compressional waves that move the fastest.
2. Secondary (S) waves: These are shear waves that move more slowly.

These waves play an important role in understanding and measuring seismic activity.
