The three types of earthquake waves are described below:

  • ‘P’ or longitudinal waves or primary waves -  These waves travel in the direction of their movement. They can travel through solid as well as liquid matter.
  • ‘S’ or transverse or secondary waves -These waves travel at right angle to the direction of their oscillation. They can travel in solid media only.
  • ‘L’ or Long Waves -  These are surface waves. These do not go deep into the earth.
