Answer:

Your answer is they are produced by P and S waves.

Explanation:

These waves are known as primary and secondary waves. When these two waves have passed through the earthly body, the next wave that follows is the surface wave. They move slower than body waves and they are also more destructive because they are larger. Hope this helped :)
