What is a seismic wave that travels along the earth's surface?
There are two types of wave that travel along Earth's surface and they are known broadly as surface waves. These are:Love wavesRayleigh waves
Distinguish between a primary wave and a secondary wave?
A primary wave is a strong vibration or wave that hits earths surface (P) and a secondary wave (S) is a wave that hits soon after but not nearly as big.
