A body wave is a seismic wave that moves through the interior of the earth, as opposed to surface waves that travel near the earth's surface. P and S waves are body waves. Each type of wave shakes the ground in different ways.

The Body waves consist of primary waves( P-waves) and secondary waves( S-waves)
Explanation:
- Body waves are classified into two types: primary waves (also known as P-waves or pressure waves) and secondary waves (S-waves, or shear waves). Compression waves are P-waves.
- They may spread in both solid and liquid media. Shear waves are what S-waves are. Direct waves, surface reflections, and core reflections all give different ways to sample the mantle.
- Body waves are impulsive signals with modest amplitudes that travel through the deep mantle and core at teleseismic distances via a number of routes.
