Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two different types wave produced by an earthquake: body waves and surface waves. Body waves are seismic waves that travel through the body of the earth. Body waves are reflected and transmitted at interfaces where seismic velocity and/or density change, and they obey Snell's law.
