Secondary seismic waves travel slower than primary waves but they are much more destructive. Thus it carries more energy.
high frequency, short wavelength :)

mechanical waves carry mechanical energy and electromagnetic waves carry electromagnetic energy.
Waves
Waves carry energy (frequencies), not matter.

Light waves do carry energy, and when oscillated light can carry information.
the energy it takes my chicken to fly
The matter that waves use to transfer energy is called the medium. The medium actually carries the energy of the wave. Sound is a good example of mechanical energy, and it requires a medium to travel. The energy created at the source is transferred into the medium, and the medium carries it forward in transmission (propagation).
