Earthquakes waves are of two types namely:

A Body waves and surface waves
B Circular and Body Waves
C Body Waves and Vertical Waves
D Circular and Vertical Waves

Correct Answer: Body waves and surface waves

The two main types of waves are body waves and surface waves. Body waves can travel through the earth's inner layers, but surface waves can only move along the surface of the planet like ripples on water. Earthquakes radiate seismic energy as both body and surface waves.
