Answer:
Seismic surface waves travel along the Earth's surface. They can be classified as a form of mechanical surface waves. They are called surface waves, as they diminish as they get further from the surface. They travel more slowly than seismic body waves (P and S).
Because P waves and S waves travel through Earth — not just along its surface — they are also known as “body waves.” This trait makes them useful in a number of ways. For one, scientists can use P waves and S waves to identify where an earthquake began.
