The three types of waves in order of speed are:

  1. P-waves (Primary waves) - fastest seismic waves, travel through solid and liquid.
  2. S-waves (Secondary waves) - slower than P-waves, can only travel through solid.
  3. Surface waves - slowest seismic waves, travel along Earth's surface causing most damage during earthquakes.
