the seismic waves work when the erosion happened in the middle of the ocean and then they burn so they explode!!
When seismic waves hit a fault, the waves are reflected off the fault.
They hit the fault line (epicenter) and bounce back to their starting point.
They bounce back to the focus.

Seismic waves originate along fault lines because that is an edge of a tectonic plate. Imagine the tectonic plates as pieces of a puzzle. The fault line is the wavy side or edge in the piece and the pieces fit together. Whenever the plates move, they rub against the tectonic plates or puzzle pieces on their sides creating seismic waves.
Seismic waves due to slip across fault planes
the waves caused by an earthquake are called seismic waves
The Love and Rayleigh waves (collectively known as surface waves) are the slowest moving but most damaging of the seismic waves.

no they are fault-block mountains
"True, the Seismic Waves change speed and direction when they encounter different materials."
The energy released by fault movement forms seismic waves.
Geologists can use seismographs to detect hidden faults. When seismic waves encounter a fault, they are reflected off of the fault. Geologists can use this information to chart the location of a depth of a hidden fault.
When seismic waves hit a fault, the waves are reflected off the fault.Seismograph can detect these reflected seismic waves.Geologists then use these data to map the fault's length and depth.

Seismic waves are released when rock moves along a fault. These waves are the ones that cause earthquakes.
