When an earthquake happens deep underground a crack will start to open on a pre-existing line of weakness in the Earth's brittle crust. This crack will then grow larger and larger, relieving built-up stress as it goes.
Answer:
Seismic waves are fundamentally of two types, compressional, longitudinal waves or shear, transverse waves. Through the body of the Earth these are called P-waves (for primary because they are fastest) and S-waves (for secondary since they are slower).
Surface waves in earthquakes can be divided into two types. The first is called a Love wave. Its motion is essentially that of S waves that have no vertical displacement; it moves the ground from side to side in a horizontal plane but at right angles to the direction of propagation.
