The sequence that correctly lists earthquake waves from strongest to weakest is : ( C ) P waves -- S waves-- Surface waves

Types of earthquake waves

P waves are the strongest waves because they move more rapidly inside the incompressible earth core sending its energy at a hazardous rate, while the S waves are slower and produces vertical movement of the earth surface.

The weakest waves are the S waves which sweeps across the outer surface of the earth and they are also the slowest of all the waves.

Hence we can conclude that the sequence that correctly lists earthquake waves from strongest to weakest is P waves -- S waves-- Surface waves
