An S wave is slower than a P wave and only moves through solid rock. This wave moves rock up and down, or side-to-side. Because P waves are compression waves, they can move through a liquid. However, S waves cannot move through a liquid. This is because a liquid is not rigid enough to transmit an S wave.
Among the many types of seismic waves, one can make a broad distinction between body waves and surface waves. 1  Body waves travel through the interior of the Earth. 2  Surface waves travel across the surface. 3  Particle motion of surface waves is larger than that of body waves, so surface waves tend to cause more damage.
