Hi buddy here is the answer
Compressional or “p” waves are identical to sound waves – the particle motion is parallel to the propagation direction:
Shear or “s” waves are characterized by particle motion that is perpendicular to the propagation direction:
Surface waves, as the name implies, travel primarily along the ground surface; amplitudes decrease rapidly with depth. There are two types of surface waves. Like body waves, they are characterized by particle motion.
hope it helps
