Answer:

Earthquakes produce three types of seismic waves: primary waves, secondary waves, and surface waves. Each type moves through materials differently. In addition, the waves can reflect, or bounce, off boundaries between different layers.

Answer:

three types of earthquake waves:-

1.) Primary (or P-waves)

These waves can travel through fluids and solids and are longitudinal - this means they transfer their energy through compression, like a slinky forming compressed areas when you push one end (sound is also an example of a longitudinal wave).

2.)Secondary (or S-waves)

S-waves cannot travel through air or water, only through solids, but they have a larger amplitude (this is the height of a wave, measured from the highest point to the middle line) so are more destructive in the case of an earthquake.

3.)surface waves

The final type of seismic wave occurs along the boundary between two different substances (e.g. rock and air). They can be either longitudinal (Rayleigh) or transverse (Love and Rayleigh).
