They're called 'seismic' waves.

Seismic waves.
Earthquake generated waves are called seismic waves. These are waves of energy that travel through the Earth's layers. Their velocity depends on the elasticity and density of the medium that they travel through.
Seismic Waves.
Seismic waves are vibrations that travel through the Earth carrying the energy released during earthquakes. == Seismic waves are waves that are a result of earthquake activity in the earth. There are body and surface waves. Body waves happen inside the earth and are called P (longitudinal) and S (transverse) waves. Surface waves happen on the Earth's surface and are called Rayleigh and Love waves. P-waves (primary waves) go first, compress and expand the earth, and are faster. S-waves (secondary waves) go second, move the ground up and down or side to side, and are not as fast as P waves.

Earth's interior...
Earthquake waves are called seismic waves. There are two main types of seismic waves: body waves, which travel through the Earth's interior, and surface waves, which travel along the Earth's surface. These waves are responsible for the shaking and damage caused by earthquakes.
Waves of heat and light, called radiation, travel to earth.
Seismic waves
Seismic activity generates seismic waves. These waves can be classified into two main types: body waves that travel through the Earth's interior (P-waves and S-waves) and surface waves that travel along the Earth's surface (Love waves and Rayleigh waves).
