Seismic waves are waves of energy that


travel through the Earth's layers, and are a
result of an earthquake, explosion, or a volcano
that gives out low-frequency acoustic energy.
Many other natural and anthropogenic sources
create low-amplitude wavescommonly referred
to as ambient vibrations.
Seismology (/sazmldi/; from Greek
"earthquake" and - "study of") is
the scientific study of earthquakes and the
propagation of elastic waves through the Earth
or through other planet-like bodies.
Seismometers are instruments that measure motion of the
ground, including those of seismic waves generated by
earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and other seismic
sources.

For seismic waves through the bulk material the


longitudinal or compressional waves are called P
waves (for ``primary'' waves) whereas the transverse
waves are callled S waves (``secondary'' waves)

P-waves are a type of body wave, called seismic waves in


seismology, that travel through a continuum and are the
first waves from an earthquake to arrive at a seismograph.
The continuum is made up of gases, liquids, or solids,
including the Earth.

A type of elastic wave, the S-wave, secondary wave,


or shear wave is one of the two main types of elastic body
waves, so named because they move through the body of
an object, unlike surface waves.
