transverse and longitudinal
Well, it depends on what your teacher explained. However earthquakes can be: 1) tectonic, 2) volcanic or can be 1) natural, 2) induced (that is induced by human activity, such as mines and reservoirs).
Any scientific site like that of the USGS could be a useful source of information.

Note: Waves actually transfer energy rather than travel

Mechanical can be transverse (waves on the surface of water] or longitudinal[Sound waves]
Electromagnetic is transverse by nature

How do the various kinds of em waves different from each other?
There are two main types of EM waves. Magnetic waves and Electronic waves. They exist at orthogonal relationships with M waves and E waves at 90 degrees to each other.
What do body waves of an earthquake consist of?
It consist two types of waves primary waves and secondary 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.
What are two types of waves and What can they travel through?
current
How many types of seismic waves are produced at the same time in an earthquake?
3 main, not sure if there's other devices. (seismoscope, seismometer, ???)
How can two different types of waves have the same wavelength?
Yes, they can.
What are two different types of waves?
seismic and something else.. i think
What evidence is there that sound waves are all electromagnetic in nature?
I think you are confusing something. Sound waves, and electromagnetic waves, are two different types of waves.
How is transverse waves and longitudinal wave similar?
They are two different types of waves. The few similarities are that they are both waves and they have the same direction of propagation.
What are the different types of earthquakes waves?
The three types of earthquake waves are primary waves, surface waves, and secondary waves.
How does noise interfere with communication?
their two types of different waves that collide and effect your hearing
What are the two types of waves?
The three types of seismic waves are:P waves, S waves, and Surface waves
What are the two types of surface wave?
The three types of seismic waves are:P waves, S waves, and Surface waves
two types of body waves?
p waves and s waves
Is it true transverse and congressional waves are the two types of mechanical waves?
No. The 2 types of mechanical waves are transverse waves & longitudinal waves
Radio and gamma rays are two types of what kind of waves?
Radio and gamma waves are two types of electromagneticwaves.
Are Electromagnetic waves and transverse waves two types of mechanical waves?
False
