no, there are p-waves, s-waves, surface waves
The three types of seismic waves are:P waves, S waves, and Surface waves
The three types of seismic waves are: P waves S waves Surface waves ( two surface waves. Riley surface wave and love surface wave named after scientists
Seismic waves affect us because they are what causes the motion from an earthquake that destroy buildings and such. The three types of seismic waves are surface waves primary waves also called P-waves and secondary waves also called S-waves.
P waves - compress and expand the ground like a Accordion S waves - vibrate from side to side as well as up and down Surface waves - make the ground roll like ocean waves The Earthquake is produced by each of the three types of seismic waves.
four types of diagnostic waves

body waves and surface waves
Three main types of seismic waves are produced at the same time in an earthquake: primary (P-waves), secondary (S-waves), and surface waves. P-waves are the fastest and can travel through solids, liquids, and gases. S-waves are slower and only travel through solids. Surface waves are the slowest and cause the most destruction.
The three types of waves in order of speed are: P-waves (Primary waves) - fastest seismic waves, travel through solid and liquid. S-waves (Secondary waves) - slower than P-waves, can only travel through solid. Surface waves - slowest seismic waves, travel along Earth's surface causing most damage during earthquakes.
