An example, the waves at the surface of water and air (ocean surface waves), or ripples in the sand at the interface with water or air. Another example is internal waves, which can be transmitted along the interface of two water masses of different densities
What else can I help you with?
How do waves get there energy?
Oceanic waves are produced by the shearing action of the wind blowing above the surface of the water body.
What are the three diffrent kinds of seismic waves?
The three main types of seismic waves are P-waves (primary waves), S-waves (secondary waves), and surface waves. P-waves are compressional waves that travel the fastest and can move through both solids and liquids. S-waves are shear waves that move more slowly and only travel through solids. Surface waves are the slowest and travel along the surface of the Earth, causing the most damage during an earthquake.
What 2 waves are surface waves?
Love waves and Rayleigh waves are surface waves
What is right above the epicenter of the earth's surface?
The epicenter of an earthquake is directly above the focus or hypocenter, which is the point where the seismic waves originate within the Earth. It is typically located on the Earth's surface directly vertically above the focus.
What is the point on earths surface directly above an earthquake's focus called?
The point on Earth's surface directly above an earthquake's focus is called the epicenter. It is where the seismic waves originating from the earthquake's focus first reach the surface.
What Is The place on the surface directly above earthquake focus?
The place on the surface directly above the earthquake focus is called the epicenter. It is generally the point on the Earth's surface where the earthquake is most strongly felt and where the seismic waves originate.
What general name is given to waves that travel along the surface of a material such as Rayleigh and Love waves?
Surface waves
What are the two types of seismic surface waves?
body waves and surface waves
Do p waves or surface waves move faster?
No. Surface waves are slower than both P and S-waves.
What are an example of surface wave?
Examples of surface waves include water waves on the ocean's surface, seismic surface waves that travel along the earth's surface during an earthquake, and electromagnetic waves that propagate along the boundaries between different materials.
What is the place on earth27s surface directly above the point where movement first occurs in an earthquake called?
The place on Earth's surface directly above the point where movement first occurs in an earthquake is called the epicenter. This is the point on the surface located vertically above the earthquake's focus (or hypocenter), where the seismic waves originate.
What is the epicenter in the earthquake?
