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 2 waves are surface waves?
Love waves and Rayleigh waves are surface waves
Why do they call surface waves love waves?
There are actually two types of surface waves: Love waves and Rayleigh waves. In both cases they are named for the people who predicted their existence. In the case of Love waves this was British mathematician Augustus Edward Hough Love.
When was Love's Crashing Waves created?
Love's Crashing Waves was created in 1984-06.
Which type of earthquakes waves move the slowest?
The surface waves (composed in turn of the Rayleigh and Love waves) are the slowest seismic waves.
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 are three types of earthquake waves?
P-waves, S-waves and surface waves (Love and Rayleigh waves).
What are the subtypes of secondary waves?
The subtypes of secondary waves (S-waves) are Love waves and Rayleigh waves. Love waves cause horizontal movement, while Rayleigh waves cause both horizontal and vertical movement. Both types of waves are surface waves that move along the Earth's crust.
All differences between love and rayleigh waves?
Love waves are surface waves that move in a horizontal, side-to-side motion, while Rayleigh waves have a rolling motion that combines both vertical and horizontal movement. Rayleigh waves travel slower than Love waves and are more destructive in causing ground movement during an earthquake. Love waves only travel on the surface, while Rayleigh waves travel both on the surface and through the interior of the Earth.
What is stronger love waves or Rayleigh waves?
rayleigh -8 letters :-)
What is the most powerful waves from an earthquake?
Love waves are the most strongest type of Earthquakes.
What is love waves?
Love wave is when you are at the beach and then you fall in love with the person next to you.
What general name is given to waves that travel along the surface of a material such as Rayleigh and Love waves?
Surface waves
