What are the different type of seismic waves?
Regional SpecificsThere are three basic types of seismic waves – P-waves, S-waves and surface waves. P-waves and S-waves are sometimes collectively called body waves. What are the 4 types of seismic waves? Love Waves—surface waves that move parallel to the Earth’s surface and perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation.. P-wave Motion.
