Consider the following statements: I. Earthquake waves are basically of two types, namely body waves and surface waves. II. The body waves interact with the surface rocks and generate surface waves. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
C. Both I and II
Earthquake waves are broadly classified into two types: body waves and surface waves. Body waves are generated due to the release of energy at the focus and move in all directions travelling through the body of the Earth. When these body waves interact with the surface rocks, they generate a new set of waves called surface waves, which move along the surface. Thus, both statements I and II are correct. Answer: Both I and II
