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.
The seismic waves that cause the majority of damage in earthquakes are the surface waves of which there are two types. Rayleigh waves.Love waves. Surface waves have high amp â¦ litudes (which in turn means they have a large amount of energy). These high amplitude surface waves cause surface deformations.
