I believe you may be referring to "seismic waves", which are waves that move through the Earth following a major event, such as an earthquake, volcanic eruption, large explosion or impact. Scientists who study seismic waves, referred to as seismologists, note that there are different types of seismic waves which are differentiated by the speed, depth and amplitude of the wave. Following an earthquake, fast moving seismic waves at the surface may cause tremendous destruction while, further from the epicenter, slower waves traveling at greater depths may go unnoticed.

What is the 4 waves?
Mechanical waves Electromagnetic waves Transverse waves Longitudinal waves
Are radio waves transverse waves or longitudinal waves?
Transverse. Radio waves are electromagnetic waves, which are transverse.
How do sound waves differ from water waves?
they differ because waves are sound waves and water waves are waves in the water.
Are AM radio waves are an example of longitudinal waves?
No. Radio waves are a type of electromagnetic waves; electroctromagnetic waves are transverse waves.
How waves classified?
waves are classified according to how they move. the three types of waves are transversed waves, longitudinal waves, and surface waves
What are the two types of seismic surface waves?
body waves and surface waves
What are the 3 types of waves?
P-waves (Primary Waves) -- Body WaveS-waves (Secondary Waves) -- Body WaveSurface Waves (Rayleigh and Love)The 3 types of seismic waves are P waves, S waves and surface waves.
What is the waves?

The 3 types of seismic waves are what?
P-waves (Primary Waves) -- Body WaveS-waves (Secondary Waves) -- Body WaveSurface Waves (Rayleigh and Love)The 3 types of seismic waves are P waves, S waves and surface waves.
Are seismic waves transverse or compressional waves?
There are 3 broad types of seismic waves, Surface waves, S-waves and P-waves. Love waves (a type of surface wave) and S-waves are transverse waves and P-waves are compressional.

What 2 waves are surface waves?
Love waves and Rayleigh waves are surface waves
What is the 4 waves?
Mechanical waves Electromagnetic waves Transverse waves Longitudinal waves
Are radio waves transverse waves or longitudinal waves?
Transverse. Radio waves are electromagnetic waves, which are transverse.
