Waves that propagate through the interior of a body are called body waves, as opposed to surface waves, which propagate along the boundary surface of a body. In seismology, the Earth is usually considered an infinite, linear elastic and homogeneous continuum. In such a medium there exist only two basic types of seismic body waves with different polarization: (1) dilatational (or longitudinal) P waves and (2) translational (shear) S waves
