transverse and longitudinal
Well, it depends on what your teacher explained. However earthquakes can be: 1) tectonic, 2) volcanic or can be 1) natural, 2) induced (that is induced by human activity, such as mines and reservoirs).
Any scientific site like that of the USGS could be a useful source of information.

What are two types of waves and What can they travel through?
Two types of waves are mechanical waves and electromagnetic waves. Mechanical waves require a medium (solid, liquid, or gas) to travel through, while electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum, such as outer space.
What are two kinds of sesmic waves?
Two types of seismic waves are body waves (P-waves and S-waves) and surface waves (Love waves and Rayleigh waves). Body waves travel through the Earth's interior, while surface waves travel along the Earth's surface.
Are earthquake waves different from the concentric rings of waves when you throw a stone in the water?
Yes, earthquake waves are the result of the sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust during an earthquake, and they travel through the Earth in various forms such as P-waves, S-waves, and surface waves. When you throw a stone in the water, the concentric rings of waves are known as water surface waves, which propagate along the water's surface and are caused by the displacement of water molecules. Both types of waves involve the transfer of energy through a medium, but they occur in different contexts and mediums.
What are the two types of body waves and what do they mean?
The two types of body waves are longitudinal and transverse waves. In seismology longitudinal waves are known as P-waves (P = primary as they are detected by seismometers before the other seismic waves) and transverse waves are known as S-waves (S = secondary). In longitudinal waves the material oscillates or moves backwards and forwards parallel to the direction of wave motion (a bit like someone opening and closing an accordion). In transverse waves, the material oscillates normal (at 90 degrees) to the direction of wave motion.
How does a twopoint interference pattern form?
Interference effects can be observed with all types of waves, for example, light A simple form of interference pattern is obtained if two plane waves of the same Optical interference between two point sources for different wavelengths and
What are the two types of waves in radio waves and gamma rays?
The two types of waves in radio waves are AM (amplitude modulation) and FM (frequency modulation). In gamma rays, there are no different types of waves as they are all high-energy electromagnetic waves.
What are the three different types of waves?
The three different types of waves are mechanical waves, electromagnetic waves, and matter waves.
What are two different types of waves?
seismic and something else.. i think
The 2 different types of waves?
The two different types of waves are transverse waves and longitudinal waves. In transverse waves, the particles vibrate perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation, like light waves. In longitudinal waves, the particles vibrate parallel to the direction of wave propagation, like sound waves.
How is transverse waves and longitudinal wave similar?
They are two different types of waves. The few similarities are that they are both waves and they have the same direction of propagation.
What are the different types of earthquakes waves?
The three types of earthquake waves are primary waves, surface waves, and secondary waves.
How does noise interfere with communication?
their two types of different waves that collide and effect your hearing
What are the two types of waves?
The three types of seismic waves are:P waves, S waves, and Surface waves
Which type of waves are combination of waves that occur at the boundary between two media?
These waves are called boundary waves or interface waves. They are formed due to the interaction of two different media and can exhibit characteristics of both types of waves present at the boundary.
Radio and gamma rays are two types of what kind of waves?
Radio and gamma waves are two types of electromagneticwaves.
What are two different types of light waves?
Two different types of light waves are visible light waves and ultraviolet light waves. Visible light waves are the only part of the electromagnetic spectrum that our eyes can detect, while ultraviolet light waves have shorter wavelengths and higher frequencies than visible light.
What are the three different wave types?
The three different wave types are transverse waves, longitudinal waves, and surface waves. Transverse waves oscillate perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation, longitudinal waves oscillate parallel to the direction of wave propagation, and surface waves travel along the boundary between two different mediums.
