P-waves and S-waves.
P waves are known as Primary waves as they have a high velocity and so are recorded at seismometer stations before Secondary or S-waves.
P waves may also be known as pressure waves as they are in fact compression or longitudinal waves. S-waves may also be known as shear waves as they are transverse waves.

What are huge waves call caused by earthquakes?
Huge earthquake-caused waves are called tsunami in Japanese.
What kind of movement is produced by each of the three types of seismic waves?
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 are the two kids of earthquakes?
There are three forms of earthquakes which are the convergent boundary, divergent boundary, and the transform fault. The earthquake waves may be in P-waves (primary) and in S-waves (secondary).
What are earthquake waves?
vibration that travels through earth carrying the energy released during an earthquake.
What are the major causes of damage in an earthquake?
Viberations caused by the Siesmic waves,
What are the different types of earthquakes waves?

Are Secondary waves a Cause of a Earthquake?
No they ARE caused by the recession of the first wave which IS caused by an earthquake.
How many types of seismic waves are produced at the same time in an earthquake?
3 main, not sure if there's other devices. (seismoscope, seismometer, ???)
What are the three different wave types?
Electromagnetic wave are one type, acoustic waves are another. The waves of the sea, or those of an earthquake are others.
What types of waves are in an earthquake?
P waves (primary waves) and S waves (secondary waves).
What are huge waves call caused by earthquakes?

What types of waves are created in an earthquake?
seismic
Is seismic waves and earthquake waves the same?
Seismic waves are any waves that travel through the Earth. As such all earthquake waves are seismic waves, however not all seismic waves are caused by earthquakes.
What is a vibration caused by an earthquake called?
seismic waves
