P-WAVE: the P-wave is the fastest of all seismic waves.when an earthquake occurs ,this wave is the first to arrive at a recording station,it can travel through solids,liquids and gases.it’s speed is somehow 13–17 km/sec.

S-WAVE:the S-wave is the second fastest of all seismic waves when an earthquake occurs .it can’t travel through liquids.

RAYLEIGH-WAVE: R-wave ,it’s speed is 0.91*speed of s-wave.the particle motion is combination of the P-and SV-vibrations.the particle motion describes “retrograde ellipse” in the vertical plane.

LOVE-WAVE:L-wave is dispersive in nature,because they can only propagate in a velocity -layered medium.particle motion is SH -motion,it has high amplitude.

Rayleigh Wave is most dangerous wave because of its behaviour of rolling movements.
