Describe the wave motion and mechanical wave movement of a seismic p wave 20 pts

a mechanical wave is a wave that is an oscillation of matter, and therefore transfers energy through a medium. while waves can move over long distances, the movement of medium transmission-the material- is limited. again, the oscillating material does not move far away from its initial equilibrium position ;)

pe = weightxheight = 2000x1000=2,000,000joules

d. air pressure decreases as altitude increases.
