If referring to differences in types of waves, their is only longitudinal and tranverse waves in which the only difference is that longitudinal waves move in compressions (such as sound). Transverse waves move in a continuos up and down motion (light waves and displayed in the graph of cosine or sine). The properties of waves are diffraction, refraction, constructive interference, destructive interference, and transfer of energy (this is what a wave is).

How are the different types of waves alike?
The different types of seismic waves are alike because all three waves come to the surface at one point. Also because they come after earthquakes.
What do earthquake waves have in common with other waves?
They bend when they go through different materials.
Seismic waves travel through Earth's layers at different speeds depending on the what?
Density and the composition of the different layers affect the behavior of seismic waves.
Does the ocean floor have features that are the same as features found on continents?
It has many features for more information type this in:How are the features the same or different?
How did geologists locate the Gutenberg discontinuity?
We know the discontinuity exists because of different types of seismic waves; certain waves can penertrate to different depths. Seismic waves are refracted at the Gutenburg discontinuity, which marks the upper boundary of the earth's core

How are sound and waves different from electromagnetic waves?
they are different because these waves can travel through empty space
How are electromagnetic waves different to radio waves?
Radio waves ARE electromagnetic waves.
Are earthquake waves different from the concentric rings of waves when you throw a stone in the water?
Yes the two waves are different.
