are secondary waves that are also created during
AEKRTHAEUQ an earthquake.
the part of the earth’s surface directly above the
ETNIPCERE focus of an earthquake.

SWAEVP- are surface waves that are very destructive after

large earthquakes.

VASEWS- a shaking or trembling of the earth that is volcanic

or tectonic in origin.

AWEVLS- are produced by all earthquakes. They are

compression waves that form when rocks break
due to pressure in the Earth.
