P-Wave (Primary)

"The nervous messenger" - Arrives first, just makes things jiggle. Like that friend who shows up early but only brings chips.

🦖

S-Wave (Secondary)

"The party crasher" - Shows up second, starts breaking things. Side-to-side motion that makes buildings dance (badly).

🐉

Love Wave

"The horizontal hurricane" - Despite the name, shows no love. Makes the ground wiggle side-to-side like a snake.

🌊

Rayleigh Wave

"The ground tsunami" - Last to arrive, worst house guest. Rolls the ground like ocean waves. Brings ALL the damage.

⚠️ SPOILER ALERT: The tortoise wins this race... at destroying everything! ⚠️
