What travels along a surface separating two media?
a surface wave
Which type of wave is characterized by circular motion?
Surface waves from an earthquake shake the ground back and forth and up and down. So basically in a circular motion. This wave is the most dangerous wave released during and earthquake and it comes after the p and s waves. The Surface wave is the last wave that comes after the other 2. So yea' these surface waves move in a circular motion
How does ground motion produced by a p wave compare to the ground motion produced by surface waves?
The underground motion of a P-wave usually effects the us less than ones near or on the surface.
When a wave approaches a boundary between two media obliquely does its direction of motion change or remains the same?
The direction of the wave changes if its speed is different in the two media.
What is a wave that occurs at or near the boundary of two different media?
Either Longitudinal, transverse, or a surface wave.
What motion best describes the way a wave moves?
a sweeping motion
How does the ground motion produced by a P-wave compare to the ground motion produced by a surface-wave?
The underground motion of a P-wave usually effects the us less than ones near or on the surface.

What type of wave motion is it when the wave bounces off a surface and returns?
Reflection!

WHAT BEST DESCRIBES THE WAVE OF THE OCEAN?
surface waves
Describe motion of a water molecule on the surface of the ocean as a wave passes by?
it goes from crest to trough in a wave like motion. this is the right answer
How do particles move in a surface wave?
Surface Waves can propagate only along the boundary of solid.Two types are:Rayliegh Waves propagate along boundary between two dissimilar solid media, in a plane perpendicular to the surface and containing the direction of propagation.Love Waves are polarized shear wave with an associated oscillatory particle motion parallel to the free space and perpendicular to the direction wave motion.
A disturbance at the boundary between two media?
surface wave
What is a wave that occurs at the boundary between two media when transverse and longitudinal waves combine?
megnetic wave and or a surface wave
When a wave approaches a boundary between two media obliquely does its direction of motion change or remains the same?
The direction of the wave changes if its speed is different in the two media.
