Earthquakes generate three types of seismic waves: P (primary) waves, S (secondary) waves and surface waves, which arrive at seismic recording stations one after another. Both P and S waves penetrate the interior of the Earth while surface waves do not. Due to this, P and S waves are known as body waves.
This wave behaviour can also be used on a smaller scale by recording waves generated by explosions or ground vibrators in the search for oil and gas. Types of seismic waves. There are three basic types of seismic waves â P-waves, S-waves and surface waves. P-waves and S-waves are sometimes collectively called body waves. P-waves
