GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The two general types of vibrations produced by earthquakes are surface waves, which travel along the Earth’s surface, and body waves, which travel through the Earth. Surface waves usually have the strongest vibrations and probably cause most of the damage done by earthquakes.

Detailed explanation-2: -These waves are called seismic or earthquake waves. There are different kinds of earthquake waves: body waves and surface waves. Body waves pass through the interior of the Earth whereas surface waves travel along the Earth’s surface.

Detailed explanation-3: -Body Waves-Primary (P) & Secondary (S) Waves. Surface Waves-Rayleigh & Love Waves.
