Seismic waves travel either through the Earth's interior or near Earth's surface with a characteristic speed and style of motion. ... In our animations, we exaggerate the motion of the seismic waves by bouncing a building to show what sensitive instruments record as seismic waves arrive at the station.
S waves are more dangerous than P waves because they have greater amplitude and produce vertical and horizontal motion of the ground surface. The slowest waves, surface waves, arrive last. They travel only along the surface of the Earth
