Seismic waves travel in all directins radiating out from the Earthquake's epicenter and/or focus.

(not seismic, seismic wave)Seismic waves are waves of energy that travel through the earth.
A body wave is a seismic wave that travels through Earths interior.
Body wave
Mechanical wave needs a medium to travel. Examples :- Sound Wave, Seismic Wave etc.
Standing wave
why can s-wave can't travel but p-waves can
Seismic waves are vibrations generated by an earthquake. They travel along the surface of the Earth and through the earth. They are a type of wave known as a mechanical wave and as such (unlike electromagnetic waves) require a medium through which to travel. Seismic waves can be split into body and surface waves. The body waves can be split into two main types, the P-wave or primary wave which is a compression or longitudinal wave which can travel through solids, liquids and gasses and the S-wave which is a transverse or shear wave and can only travel through solids.

A Body Wave.
A seismic wave is a mechanical wave - similar to a sound. Basically, the energy of the wave is propagated by groups of atoms hitting into the next group of atoms.
