Explanation:
The two main types of waves are body waves and surface waves. Body waves can travel through the Earth's inner layers, but surface waves can only move along the surface of the planet like ripples on water. Earthquakes send out seismic energy as both body and surface waves

Answer:
There are four main types of earthquake waves: P-waves and S-waves (which are body waves), and Rayleigh waves and Love waves (which are surface waves). Love waves tend to cause the most damage due to their large amplitude and P-waves the least, but P-waves are the first to arrive.
