How do the speed of the S-waves from the magnitude 2 earthquake compare to the speed of the S-waves from the magnitude 7 earthquake (magnitude 2 compared to 7)?
- Magnitude 2 S-waves are faster than magnitude 7 S-waves.
- Magnitude 2 S-waves are slower than magnitude 7 S-waves.
- Magnitude 2 S-waves are the same speed as magnitude 7 S-waves.
