Generation

# Seismic Wave Types When an earthquake occurs, it releases energy as **seismic waves** that travel through and around the Earth. **P-waves (primary waves)** are the fastest, compressing and expanding rock like a slinky as they move through solids, liquids, and gases. **S-waves (secondary waves)** are slower and move rock side-to-side perpendicular to their direction of travel, but can only pass through solids. **Surface waves** travel along Earth's surface and are the slowest but most destructive, causing the rolling and side-to-side ground motion that damages buildings during earthquakes.
