The appropriate response is a Surface wave. It is a seismic wave that goes over the surface of the Earth rather than through it. Surface waves as a rule have bigger amplitudes and longer wavelengths than body waves, and they travel more gradually than body waves do. Adore waves and Rayleigh waves are sorts of surface waves.
