The p waves can travel through solids and liquids.

The s waves can travel through solids.

L waves are responsible for ground movements.

p waves are also responsible for compression and expansion.

s waves are responsible for shaking structures on the surface.

The problem uses the concept of Seismic waves. The seismic waves are those waves that are generated by the earthquakes. They has the tendency to propagate either along or near the surface of Earth. The subcategories of  Seismic waves are P waves, S waves,  and L waves.

  • The p waves are able to travel through the solids and liquids They possesses back and forth in the same direction and opposite direction with respect to wave motion.
  • S waves travel only through the solids. They cause horizontal shaking on reaching the surface.
  • The waves that have dramatic ground movements are called L waves or surface waves.
  • The P waves are able to compress plus expand the ground like an accordion.
  • The S waves create violent shaking as they come to the surface.

Thus, we can conclude that the p waves has the tendency to travel through liquid and solid. While s wave has only propagation in solids and L waves are responsible for ground movements.
