The P-wave (primary or pressure wave) is a pulse of energy that travels quickly through the earth and through liquids. ... The S-wave (secondary or shear wave) follows more slowly, with a swaying, rolling motion that shakes the ground back and forth perpendicular to the direction of the wave.

Answer:

Primary waves travel faster, move in a push-pull pattern, travel through solids, liquids and gases, and cause less damage due to their smaller size.

Secondary waves travel slower, move in an up-and-down pattern, travel only through solids, and cause more damage due to their greater size.
