Answer:surface waves

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface waves (Love and Rayleigh waves) are often the largest and longest wave sets on the seismogram. Surface waves travel slower than S waves. They travel across the surface of the globe. For really close earthquakes, the body and surface waves may appear on the seismogram simultaneously.
