Seismic waves can be both transverse and longitudinal. In a solid material, seismic waves consist of two main types: P waves (primary waves), which are longitudinal waves, and S waves (secondary waves), which are transverse waves. read more >> -

In a solid material these waves can be either longitudinal waves or transverse waves. For seismic waves through the bulk material the longitudinal or compressional waves are called P waves (for "primary" waves) whereas the transverse waves are callled S waves ("secondary" waves).read more >>
