body waves

Earth's internal vibrations

Body waves are a hairstyling technique that creates loose, flowing waves or curls using chemical treatment or heat, giving hair volume and movement without tight curls: She got a body wave to add some bounce to her straight hair.

In geology, body waves are seismic waves that travel through Earth's interior rather than along its surface, divided into primary (P) waves and secondary (S) waves.
