These waves cause the material through which they pass to vibrate at a right angle to the direction in which the wave is traveling

• P-waves

  Primary waves

• S-waves

  Compressional wave

• L-waves

  Rayleigh and Love waves

These waves cause the material through which they pass to vibrate in the same direction as the wave is traveling.
