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.

What Movement of the faults produces which kind of energy waves?

The movement of faults produces seismic waves. When an earthquake occurs, it generates three types of seismic waves: P-waves (Primary waves), S-waves (Secondary waves), and surface waves. P-waves are the fastest and can travel through solids, liquids, and gases. S-waves are slower and move only through solids. Surface waves cause the most damage and travel along the Earth's surface.

How many types of seismic waves are produced at the same time in an earthquake?

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.
