Consider the following statements regarding seismic waves:
1. P-Waves are analogous to sound waves because they are longitudinal waves that propagate through compression and rarefaction.
2. S-Waves travel faster than P-Waves and are the first to be detected by seismographs.
3. P-Waves can travel through solids, liquids, and gases, while S-Waves travel only through solids.
4. S-Waves cause more damage than P-Waves because of their perpendicular motion and higher amplitude.
