There are 3 main waves types associated with earthquakes. P(primary), S (secondary and T (tertiary). Both P and S waves are body waves and occur rather quickly. Tertiary waves are waves that are slower than P and S and are recorded in the SOFAR regions of the ocean and occur due to multiple reflections of the wave between the sea floor and sea surface.
