here are two types of seismic waves, body wave and surface waves. Other modes of wave propagation exist than those described in this article, but they are of comparatively minor importance for earth-borne waves, although they are important in the case of asteroseismology.

What seismic wave causes the most damage?
Seismic wave
What can locate a seismic wave?
A seismograph can locate a seismic wave.
How do you stop a seismic wave?
You need a shotgun and shoot the wave and that's how you stop a seismic wave
Which earthquake wave is not a seismic wave?
the sound wave
Will seismic wave traveling through a solid go faster or slower than a seismic wave traveling through liquid why or why not?
why can s-wave can't travel but p-waves can
A difference between sound waves and seismic waves?
Sound wave is is generated by a vibrating object.Whereas, seismic wave is the vibration generated by an earthquake or explosion.
Type of wave generated by an earthquake?
Seismic waves are generated by earthquakes. These can be further divided into surface (Rayleigh and Love) waves and body waves (P and S wave).
Why don't we call tsunamis ''seismic waves''?
Because a seismic wave is something else. Seismic waves are waves sent through the earth as part of the earthquake itself. A tsunami is an ocean wave generated by water being displaced.
What wave moves the same direction as it travels?
A wave in which the particles travel in the same direction as the wave is called a seismic wave. It is usually generated by earthquakes.
What seismic wave causes the most damage?
Seismic wave
What can locate a seismic wave?
A seismograph can locate a seismic wave.
What type of wave is the fastest?
The fastest wave is the electromagnetic wave. Of the seismic waves, the P-wave is the fastest seismic wave.
How do you stop a seismic wave?
You need a shotgun and shoot the wave and that's how you stop a seismic wave
Does a seismograph record the size of a tidal wave or earthquake?
Seismometers or Seismographs are instruments that measure motions of the ground, including those of seismic waves generated by earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and other seismic sources.
Kind of wave released during an wave?
Earthquake waves are called seismic waves.
Are shear waves and seismic waves the same?
A shear wave is a type of seismic wave.
Which type of a wave is a surface wave?
a seismic wave
