They travel away from the focus of the earthquake in all directions.
(The focus—or hypocenter—is the point where the quake starts beneath the surface; seismic waves radiate outward from there. The epicenter is the surface point above the focus. P‑waves and S‑waves travel through the Earth, and surface waves travel along the surface.)
