Understanding Seismology

The video explains seismic waves generated by earthquakes, detailing three main types: Primary (P) waves, which are the fastest and compressional; Secondary (S) waves, which are slower and move rock particles at right angles; and Surface (L) waves, which are the slowest and travel along the Earth's surface, causing significant damage.

Explain the movement of rock particles in compression waves.

What are Surface waves and what impact do they have?
