What waves are produced by earthquakes?
Earthquakes produce "seismic" waves. These can be split into two main types: Body Waves and Surface Waves. Body waves consist of P-waves (compression or longitudinal waves) and S-waves (shear or transverse waves). P-waves can go through solid, liquid, and gas forms but S waves can only travel through solids. The P waves reach seismic stations quicker than S waves as they travel at a greater speed. Surface waves travel more slowly than Body waves and there are two main types: The Rayleigh and Love wave.

What is the term for a water wave that is caused by underwater earthquake?
Body waves Body waves and surface waves are the two types of seismic waves formed during great earthquakes. P waves and S waves are called body waves because they travel through the body of the Earth. Surface waves Love waves and Rayleigh waves travel only on the surface of the Earth and cause the most destruction.
What are the two types of surface wave?
The three types of seismic waves are:P waves, S waves, and Surface waves
