A seismic wave is simply a means of transferring energy from one spot to another within the earth. Although seismologists recognize different types of waves, we are interested in only three types: • P (primary) waves, which are similar to sound waves, • S (secondary) waves, which are a kind of shear wave, and • L (longitudinal) waves, surface waves.
