For seismic waves through the bulk material the longitudinal or compressional waves are called P waves (for primary waves) whereas the transverse waves are callled S waves (secondary waves). Since any material, solid or liquid (fluid) is subject to compression, the P waves can travel through any kind of material.
The third general type of earthquake wave is called a surface wave, reason being is that its motion is restricted to near the ground surface. Such waves correspond to ripples of water that travel across a lake. Surface waves in earthquakes can be divided into two types. The first is called a Love wave. Its motion is essentially that of S waves that have no vertical displacement; it moves the ground from side to side in a horizontal plane but at right angles to the direction of propagation.
