Body waves. Body waves are of two types: compressional or primary (P) waves and shear or secondary (S) waves. P- and S- waves are called body waves because they can travel through the interior of a body such as the Earth's inner layers, from the focus of an earthquake to distant points on the surface. The Earthâs molten core can only be travelled through by compressional waves.
The two main types of waves are body waves and surface waves. Body waves can travel through the earth's inner layers, but surface waves can only move along the surface of the planet like ripples on water. Earthquakes radiate seismic energy as both body and surface waves. Body Waves. Traveling through the interior of the earth, body waves arrive before the surface waves emitted by an earthquake. These waves are of a higher frequency than surface waves. P Waves. The first kind of body wave is the P wave or primary wave. This is the fastest kind of seismic wave, and, consequently, the first to 'arrive' at a seismic station.
