The Love and Rayleigh waves (collectively known as surface waves) are the slowest moving but most damaging of the seismic waves.
Seismic waves are of two types the P waves and the S waves. The P  waves are the first stronger waves that travel through solids and  liquids and the S waves are the follow â¦ up waves that can travel  only through solids. The velocity of the waves depends on the  nature of medium it travels through.
