# Seismic Wave Types **Body waves** (travel through Earth's interior): - **P-waves** (Primary): Compressional waves, fastest, travel through solids and liquids - **S-waves** (Secondary): Shear waves, slower, travel only through solids **Surface waves** (travel along Earth's surface): - **Love waves**: Horizontal shearing motion - **Rayleigh waves**: Rolling/elliptical motion ## Why It Matters Understanding these wave types is critical for earthquake early warning systems—P-waves arrive first and can trigger alerts seconds before destructive S-waves and surface waves hit. The fact that S-waves cannot penetrate liquids revealed Earth's liquid outer core, fundamentally shaping our understanding of planetary structure. Engineers use wave behavior to design earthquake-resistant buildings and assess ground stability for construction.
