Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
When energy is released from the earth's surface, the first waves to reach the surface are referred to as primary seismic waves. These waves can pass through all three phases of matter: liquid, solid, and gas. They radiate outward from the earthquake's focal point at high speed. Seismic waves are energy waves that are generated by an earthquake. It resembles the waves created when a stone is tossed into the water. Similar to ripples, seismic waves can move through the earth's interior and surface.
