    Earthquakes are caused by the sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust that generates seismic waves. There are two main types of seismic waves that travel outward from the earthquake fault: primary (P) waves that push and pull as they travel and secondary (S) waves that cause side-to-side motion. Understanding seismic waves helps scientists locate earthquakes and determine their magnitude to better predict damaging shaking.
