Is a p wave fast or slow?
a p wave (primary wave) is super fast and it can go through the entire earth whereas an s wave ( a secondary wave) is slower and can only go through the solid parts of the earth ( like the crust, ect.)
Is a P-wave a body wave?
Yes. In a seismic context, P and S waves are body waves while Love and Rayleigh waves are surface waves.
Type of wave generated by an earthquake?
Seismic waves are generated by earthquakes. These can be further divided into surface (Rayleigh and Love) waves and body waves (P and S wave).
What is rayleigh scattering?
Rayleigh waves are a type of Surface wave. Surface waves occur when Secondary waves and Primary waves reach the Surface of the Earth's crust during an earthquake. Surface waves cause the most damage.
What is stronger love waves or Rayleigh waves?
rayleigh -8 letters :-)
Which earthquake waves are most destructive to buildings?
technically any seismic wave can destroy a building, but the one most likely to do it are the surface waves
Why they are called rayleigh wave and love wave?
Because those are the last names of the scientists that discovered, documented, and explained them and their effects.
How fast is the wave board?
as fast as you can make it go or if you get pulled along by a car on 1 you can go as fast as the car can go
Which amusement park ride would have almost the same motion as a Rayleigh wave?
Roller coaster :)
Is a p wave fast or slow?
a p wave (primary wave) is super fast and it can go through the entire earth whereas an s wave ( a secondary wave) is slower and can only go through the solid parts of the earth ( like the crust, ect.)
What has the author Bhupesh Kumar Gangrade written?
Bhupesh Kumar Gangrade has written: 'Rayleigh wave characteristics for the seismic events of Pakistan region' -- subject(s): Geology, Rayleigh waves
How fast can the lorry shock wave go?
the g force is
Is a P-wave a body wave?
Yes. In a seismic context, P and S waves are body waves while Love and Rayleigh waves are surface waves.
How do you calculate the Rayleigh velocity?
If you have an isotropic material, the phase velocity of the surface wave (Rayleigh wave)can be approximately calculated by the following equation: v ~ [(0.72-(v_t/v_l)^2)/(0.75-(v_t/v_l)^2)]) * v_t where v is the Rayleigh velocity v_t is the transverse wave velocity (v_t=sqrt(c_44/density)) v_l is the longitudinal wave velocity(v_l=sqrt(c_11/density) and c_11 and c_44 are the members of the elastic constant tensor. For anisotropic materials, each direction of propagation possesses its own velocity and things get more complicated.
Type of wave generated by an earthquake?

Which seismic waves make the ground roll like ocean waves?
Rayleigh waves which are a type of seismic surface wave.
What is rayleigh scattering?
Rayleigh waves are a type of Surface wave. Surface waves occur when Secondary waves and Primary waves reach the Surface of the Earth's crust during an earthquake. Surface waves cause the most damage.
