Wind waves range in size from small ripples, to waves over 100 ft (30 m) high.[1]
Surface waves can vary in size from small ripples on the water's surface to large tsunami waves that can be tens of meters high. The size of surface waves depends on factors such as wind speed, duration, and distance over which the wind blows.
Ocean surface waves are surface waves that occur at the surface of an ocean. They usually result from distant winds or geologic effects and may travel thousands of miles before striking land. They range in size from small ripples to huge tsunamis. There is surprisingly little actual forward motion of individual water particles in a wave, despite the large amount of forward energy it may carry.
radio waves can range from the size of a football feild to the size of a football! its a true fact i have always found pretty cool.
No, the surface wave magnitude or Ms measures the amplitude of ground motion but does not directly measure the movement of seismic waves underneath the Earth's surface. It is used to quantify the size of earthquakes based on the amplitude of surface waves.
Love waves and Rayleigh waves are surface waves
Surface waves
body waves and surface waves
No. Surface waves are slower than both P and S-waves.
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.
The three types of seismic waves are: P waves S waves Surface waves ( two surface waves. Riley surface wave and love surface wave named after scientists
Seismic waves are the types of waves that can travel through the Earth and along its surface. There are two main types of seismic waves: body waves (such as primary and secondary waves) that travel through the Earth's interior, and surface waves (such as Love and Rayleigh waves) that travel along the Earth's surface.
Surface waves occur at the boundary between two different mediums, such as air and water, or air and land. They travel along the interface, transferring energy in the form of ripples or undulations on the surface. Examples of surface waves include ocean waves, seismic waves, and electromagnetic waves.
