Introduction. Earthquake waves are seismic waves that are created when energy builds up in rocks and they fracture. Scientists estimate there are several million earthquakes each year. Every earthquake produces P waves and S waves but only larger earthquakes produce Love waves and Rayleigh waves.
An earthquake is the vibration, sometimes violent, of the Earth's surface that follows a release of energy in the Earth's crust. This energy can be generated by a sudden dislocation of segments of the crust, by a volcanic eruption, or event by manmade explosions.n earthquake is the vibration, sometimes violent, of the Earth's surface that follows a release of energy in the Earth's crust.
