    1. Seismic waves are waves of energy that travel through the Earth's layers as a result of earthquakes, explosions, or volcanic eruptions. Seismology is the scientific study of earthquakes and how elastic waves propagate through the Earth or other planetary bodies. Seismometers are used to measure ground motion from seismic waves. 2. There are two main types of elastic body waves: P waves and S waves. P waves are longitudinal waves that are the first to arrive during an earthquake. S waves are transverse waves that move through the body of an object unlike surface waves.

    Seismic waves are waves of energy that


    travel through the Earth's layers, and are a
    result of an earthquake, explosion, or a volcano
    that gives out low-frequency acoustic energy.
    Many other natural and anthropogenic sources
    create low-amplitude wavescommonly referred
    to as ambient vibrations.
    Seismology (/sazmldi/; from Greek
    "earthquake" and - "study of") is
    the scientific study of earthquakes and the
    propagation of elastic waves through the Earth
    or through other planet-like bodies.
    Seismometers are instruments that measure motion of the
    ground, including those of seismic waves generated by
    earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and other seismic
    sources.

    For seismic waves through the bulk material the


    longitudinal or compressional waves are called P
    waves (for ``primary'' waves) whereas the transverse
    waves are callled S waves (``secondary'' waves)

    P-waves are a type of body wave, called seismic waves in


    seismology, that travel through a continuum and are the
    first waves from an earthquake to arrive at a seismograph.
    The continuum is made up of gases, liquids, or solids,
    including the Earth.

    1. S-wave
    2.

    A type of elastic wave, the S-wave, secondary wave,


    or shear wave is one of the two main types of elastic body
    waves, so named because they move through the body of
    an object, unlike surface waves.
