here is your answer mate .......pls mark me as a brainliest
Explanation:
An earthquake is caused by a sudden slip on a fault. The tectonic plates are always slowly moving, but they get stuck at their edges due to friction.
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).
