Earthquakes produce "seismic" waves. These can be split into two main types: Body Waves and Surface Waves. Body waves consist of P-waves (compression or longitudinal waves) and S-waves (shear or transverse waves). P-waves can go through solid, liquid, and gas forms but S waves can only travel through solids. The P waves reach seismic stations quicker than S waves as they travel at a greater speed. Surface waves travel more slowly than Body waves and there are two main types: The Rayleigh and Love wave.

∙ 9y agoThe waves produced by an earthquake are called shock waves or seismic waves.
The speed of the wave is determined by the density and elasticity of the medium.

Energy released during an earthquake creates?
Energy released during an earthquake creates seismic waves.

What do you call the waves of energy formed by an earthquake?
Potential energy is transformed into seismic waves during an earthquake :)
How does the energy from an earthquake reach the surface earth?
in the form of body waves known as p (compressional waves) and s waves (shear waves). the energy of the earth quake also produces surface waves which have long amplitudes and short frequencies causing them to be extremely destructive
Seismic waves carry what of an earthquake?
