The three different types of seismic waves are primary waves, secondary waves, and surface waves. Primary waves are the fastest type of seismic wave. They form rocks by changing their volume, which can be done by compressing and expanding rapidly. Secondary waves are slower than primary waves. They deform rocks by changing their shape. Surface waves are the slowest of the trio and pass around the border of the Earth rather than going through it.

The speed of the seismic waves from the fastest to the slowest are:

  • Primary waves
  • Secondary waves
  • Surface waves

Seismic waves are those waves that are due to earthquakes, volcanoes, landslides etc. Such waves moves through the layers of the earth.

Primary waves are known to be the fastest of the three types. These waves are pressure waves. They move faster than all other waves. When they travel through the earth crust, they are usually the first to get to the station

Secondary waves are the next fastest type of seismic waves. When they move through rocks, these objects would have a change in their shapes.

Surface waves are mechanical waves. It is a type of seismic wave that is held at earth's surface.
