Question

which wave create a tension on the earth surface​

Answer 1

Answer:

P waves travel fastest and are the first to arrive from the earthquake. ... The different S waves arrive after the P waves. The slowest (and latest to arrive on seismograms) are surface waves, such as the L wave. L waves are named for the Cambridge mathematician A.E.H. Love who first described them.

Answer 2

Answer:

Body waves and Surface waves

Explanation:

There are two different types wave produced by an earthquake: body waves and surface waves. � Body waves are seismic waves that travel through the body of the earth. � Body waves are reflected and transmitted at interfaces where seismic velocity and/or density change, and they obey Snell's law.
