What type of waves are genered by earthquakes?

Which waves created by earthquakes are the strongest at the epicenter?
s waves
What are the studies of earthquakes and seismic waves?
Seismology
What is the most powerful waves from an earthquake?
Love waves are the most strongest type of Earthquakes.
Waves from earthquakes are know as these?
P or primary wave, S or secondary waves, L as in something waves
Earthquakes fastest waves that push and pull?
i dobnt know
Do longitudinal waves travel the fastest?
Longitudinal waves, the result of earthquakes, also known as Primary, or P-Waves, are faster than Transverse (Secondary) Waves.
Which earthquake waves are the first to be recorded on a seismometer and are the fastest?
P-waves which are a compression or pressure wave are the fastest seismic waves. As they are the fastest they will reach the seismic station before any of the other seismic waves and be recorded first. Seismologists can use the difference between the arrival times of different seismic waves to calculate the distance and ultimately the location of the earthquakes epicentre. For information on this, please see the related question.
What are waves produces by earthquakes called?
The waves produced by earthquakes are called seismic waves.
Which seismic waves travel the fastest?
Primary (P) waves are the fastest. Followed by secondary (S) waves, then surface waves. P waves
Are surface waves the fastest seismic waves?
No, they are in fact the slowest! The fastest seismic waves are P-waves.
What waves are there for earthquakes?
