Seismic waves are generated by earthquakes. These can be further divided into surface (Rayleigh and Love) waves and body waves (P and S wave).

A difference between sound waves and seismic waves?
Sound wave is is generated by a vibrating object.Whereas, seismic wave is the vibration generated by an earthquake or explosion.
What type of wave can be generated by underwater earthquakes?
Tsunami
What is a type of wave that travels through earth's interior?
A seismic wave, or an earthquake.
Which type of earthquake wave is always the first to be detecated?
Primary waves
How was the Thailand tsunami generated?
The Thailand tsunami was generated by a major earthquake in the sea.
A difference between sound waves and seismic waves?
Sound wave is is generated by a vibrating object.Whereas, seismic wave is the vibration generated by an earthquake or explosion.
What does the time between each wave tell you about the earthquake?
the type of wave
Which type of wave has both transverse and longitudinal characteristics?
Earthquake wave.
Which type of earthquake wave is felt second at any given location near the earthquake?
The Secondary or S-wave.
What type of wave is not characteristic as an earthquake?
It is about 30
What type of wave can be generated by underwater earthquakes?
Tsunami
What is a type of wave that travels through earth's interior?
A seismic wave, or an earthquake.
What do type of wave do earthquake produce?
Seismic waves.
What type of wave cannot be generated in the absence of a medium?
Sound waves can't be generated in a vacuum.
What is Hsu-nami?
Probably "tsunami" misspelled. A tsunami is an ocean wave generated by a submarine earthquake, volcano or landslide.
What type of wave does an earthquake make?
seismic waves and pressure waves it depends on intensity of the earthquake
What type of earthquake wave could travel through a vacuum?
Since an earthquake or seismic wave is a pressure or force wave (like sound waves), it requires a material in which to propagate. So, no earthquake waves can travel through a vacuum.
