Types+of+Seismic+Waves

There are 2 different types if seismic waves, body waves and surface waves. Body waves happen inside the earth, and surface waves happen in the surface, or crust.
 * Types of Seismic Waves **

There are two types of body waves, p waves and s waves. P waves travel really fast, and travel through solid, liquid and gas, they back and forth. S waves are the second-fastest wave, and can only travel through solid, they move side to side. P waves refract, and S waves stop when they reach liquid and gas. This makes shadow zones, where no waves reach a part of the earth.
 * Body Waves **

There are two types of surface waves, rayleigh waves and love waves. Rayleigh waves up and down like a wave, and love waves move side to side and perpendicular. Love waves cause a lot of damage, and then Rayleigh waves is second.
 * Surface Waves **
