    The document discusses seismic waves that travel through the Earth's interior. It describes two main types of seismic waves: P-waves, which are longitudinal waves that cause material to vibrate parallel to the direction of wave propagation; and S-waves, which are transverse waves that cause material to vibrate perpendicular to the direction of propagation. The velocity of each wave type depends on the density and elastic properties of the material through which it passes.
