    Waves are disturbances that move through a medium from one location to another. There are different types of waves including mechanical waves that do not require a medium, electromagnetic waves, transverse waves where the disturbance is perpendicular to the direction of motion, and longitudinal waves where the disturbance is parallel. Seismic waves are elastic waves generated by earthquakes or explosions that can be measured using seismographs. The main seismic waves are P waves, S waves, Rayleigh waves, and Love waves which provide information about the interior of the Earth.

    What are

    Waves?
    By Isabel
    What is a wave?
    A wave is a disturbance that moves from one place to
    another while moving across a medium. As an illustration of a
    wave, think of a slinky wave. The slinky takes on a natural state
    known as the equilibrium or rest position when it is stretched from
    end to end and is kept at rest. Naturally, the slinky assumes this
    configuration with its coils evenly spaced apart. The initial particle
    is pushed or displaced from its equilibrium or rest position to
    create a wave in the slinky. The particle may be pushed forward or
    backward, upward or downward, but once it has been moved, it is
    brought back to its initial equilibrium or rest position.

    Mechanical waves The types of waves that do not require a medium for propagation are
    mechanical waves. Sound wave and surface waves are the two different
    kinds of mechanical waves. Examples of mechanical waves are sound
    waves, water waves, and spring waves.
    Electromagnetic waves Electromagnetic waves are waves that spread and doesn't require a
    physical medium. The cycle of the electric and magnetic fields causes
    these waves to travel through space.
    Transverse waves Transverse waves are waves that oscillate along routes that are
    perpendicular to the direction that the wave is moving forward.
    Transverse waves include electromagnetic waves (such as radio and
    light), water surface ripples, and seismic S (secondary) waves.
    Longitudinal waves The particles in a longitudinal wave are dispersed perpendicular to the
    wave's direction of propagation. Moving compressions along a slinky are
    an illustration of longitudinal waves. By horizontally pushing and pulling
    the slinky, we may create a longitudinal horizontal wave.
    What is Seismic Waves?

    An earthquake or an explosion can cause


    an elastic wave known as a seismic wave.
    Rayleigh is a types of seismic waves that
    can travel through the interior of the earth
    as well as along its surface (P and S
    waves)
    Types of Seismic wave

    P-wave S-wave motion


    P-wave:the primary body wave; secondary body waves that cause the ground to
    the first seismic wave detected by vibrate in the opposite direction of the wave's
    seismographs; able to move path of travel. They move 1.7 times more slowly
    through both liquid and solid rock.  than P waves. S waves cannot pass through
    liquids like water, molten rock, or the Earth's
    outer core because they cannot withstand shear
    forces. S waves cause the ground's surface to
    move both vertically and horizontally.

    other.
    How are seismic waves measured?
    The main tool used to measure earthquakes is a seismograph. The
    ground motion brought on by the seismic waves is captured digitally
    and graphically by the seismograph. Seismogram is the name of the
    digital recording. The power and duration of the earthquake's waves are
    detected and measured by an international network of seismographs. A
    pen hangs from the weight, while a rotating drum filled with paper lies
    on the base below it. The tip of the pen makes contact with the drum.
    When the earth shakes due to an earthquake, the drum rotates and the
    weighted pen moves back and forth due to seismic wave motion. The
    movement of the pen on the drum is recorded.
    Why is using seismic wave important?
    Seismic waves, carry the energy from earthquakes. Seismology is the scientific study of
    seismic waves. Seismologists use seismic waves to study the Earth's innards and learn more
    about earthquakes.
