1. Earthquakes occur along faults when stored elastic energy is suddenly released as the ground shifts. 2. Seismic waves radiate out from the earthquake focus and are detected by seismometers, allowing scientists to locate the earthquake based on the arrival times of the different wave types at different stations. 3. The main types of seismic waves are P waves and S waves. P waves travel faster and S waves cause the most surface damage. Studying seismic wave velocities and properties helps understand ea
