Explain in detail the kind of movement produced by each of the three types of seismic waves.
What is
P waves: compress and expand the ground, move through solids and liquids, are the fastest moving waves.
S waves: vibrate from side to side and up and down as they travel and move only through solids.
Surface waves: Move along the surface and move more slowly than P & S waves, and can produce violent ground movements.
