AN INTRODUCTION TO 
Types of Waves
Some of these waves cause the ground to shake
up and down (S-waves) or side to side (P-waves).
In this lesson, we will learn more about waves and
their types. 
Earthquakes are waves we can feel!

Learning Outcomes
It is a series of vibrations or
oscillations traveling from one
point to another. 
It carries energy without
transferring matter.
A small drop of water on a
calm water surface can
create ripples.
