Explanation:

All natural earthquakes take place in the lithosphere. An instrument called ‘seismograph’ records the waves reaching the surface. A curve of earthquake waves recorded on the seismograph. Note that the curve shows three distinct sections each representing different types of wave patterns. Earthquake waves are basically of two types — body waves and surface waves.
