Answer:
primary and secondary waves
Explanation:
Earthquakes produce three main types of radiated energy waves.
Two of these waves travel the Earth's body and the other is surface waves that travel along the Earth's surface.
The two waves that travel the earth's body are P-waves (Primary waves) and the other is S-wave (Secondary waves).
- P waves are compressional waves while S waves are chopped waves.
- S waves cannot travel through fluids; thus the P floors are the only ones that travel through the core of the earth.
Type P waves travel faster, but S waves are usually 2 to 3 times larger than the P wave.
