What are also known as L waves?
Presuming you mean earthquakes, L waves are known as Long waves. P waves are known as primary waves, and S waves are known as secondary waves.
L waves in an earthquake?
The L wave, or Love wave (named after British geophysicist A. E. H. Love), causes rock to move horizontally, or side to side at right angles to the direction of the traveling wave, with no vertical displacements. L waves are surface waves that cause damage as they shake the ground underneath the foundations of buildings and other structures. This is a piece of junk.
What does the L in l-waves stand for?
l waves are the slowest our waves . They are also called "Long Waves" . They travel along the surface of the Earth . They are the ones that people notice the most .
What waves move the fastest?
Electromagnetic waves.
Compared to P waves and S waves do surface waves move slower or faster?
Surface waves move slower. P waves are the fastest. Surface waves are the slowest. they are slowest but most destructive.
Do Compressional waves move back and forth at a right angle to the direction that the waves travel?
Longitudinal waves have compressions and rarefactions, they move parallel to the direction of propagation Transverse waves have peaks and troughs, the mover perpendicular to the direction of propagation l l l l lll l l l l l l l l lll l l l l l lll l l l l l l lll l l - Longitudinal ...... ..... .... ...... ...... ..... ..... .... ..... ...... ..... .... .... - Transverse ..... .... .... .... .... ... .... ......
Which type of earthquakes waves move the slowest?
The surface waves (composed in turn of the Rayleigh and Love waves) are the slowest seismic waves.
What do L waves travel through?
L waves, also known as Love waves, are a type of surface wave that travel through the solid layer of the Earth's crust. These waves move by shaking the ground side-to-side in a horizontal direction. L waves are slower than other seismic waves but can cause significant damage during earthquakes.
What do waves move through?
Different types of waves move in different patterns. Ocean waves move in a circular pattern while sound waves move in a sinusoidal pattern.
What are waves that move from side to side?
S waves are waves that move from side to side.
Who are more fastest P S L or W waves?
P waves... L waves are slowest.

What directions do waves move in?
Towards the shore.
The motion of these waves is similar to that of ocean waves?
L
