Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Seismic waves are waves of energy that travel through the earth or other elastic bodies, for example as a result of an earthquake, explosion, or some other process that imparts low-frequency acoustic energy. Seismic waves are studied by seismologists and geophysicists. Seismic wavefields are measured by a seismograph, geophone, hydrophone, or accelerometer. This book studies various types of seismic waves P- waves, S-waves, Rayleigh waves, and Love Waves.
