What is a longitutional wave?
A wave is some sort of disturbance, which propagates through matter or space. If the disturbance is along the direction of the propagation (of the wave movement), the wave is said to be longitudinal. If the disturbance is at a right angle to the wave movement, the wave is said to be transversal.A wave is some sort of disturbance, which propagates through matter or space.

Which type of wave has movement that is parallel to the direction of the wave?
Longitudinal wave.
When was Wave on Wave created?
Wave on Wave was created in 2002.
Which wave can cause damaging chemical changes in cells?
gamma. also x-rays, but gamma is the most well known for it. they can both cause cancer x
A sound wave is this kind of wave?
longitudinal wave
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
Which seismic waves travel along earth's surface and produce the most severe ground movement?
Broadly, the surface waves of which there are two main types. The Love and Rayleigh wave. Rayleigh waves have the largest amplitude of the surface waves and so cause the majority of damage.
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.
Movement of the faults produces what kind of energy wave?
seismic waves
Which amusement park ride would have almost the same motion as a Rayleigh wave?
Roller coaster :)
What are Love waves?
Love waves are a type of seismic wave known (along with Rayleigh waves) as surface waves. These cause horizontal shearing of the ground. They are named after A.E.H. Love, a British mathematician who created a mathematical model of the waves in 1911. They are slightly slower than Rayleigh waves.

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
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.
What kind of pollution is created by wave power?
Dead Whales
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).
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.
