Seismologists study the propagation of waves generated by earthquakes and other seismic events. These waves can be categorized into three main types: P-waves, S-waves, and surface waves. **

Earthquakes generate three types of seismic waves: P (primary) waves, S (secondary) waves and surface waves, which arrive at seismic recording stations one after another. Both P and S waves penetrate the interior of the Earth while surface waves do not. Due to this, P and S waves are known as "body waves".
