surface waves
Surface Waves
These waves are called boundary waves or interface waves. They are formed due to the interaction of two different media and can exhibit characteristics of both types of waves present at the boundary.

The type of waves that are combination waves occurring at the boundary between two media are known as interface waves or surface waves. These waves travel along the surface of the medium and are influenced by the properties of both media they are interacting with.
When two media have the same index of refraction, it means that light travels at the same speed through both media, so there is no change in speed or direction of the light at the boundary between them. This results in no refraction occurring as there is no bending of the light rays.
Earthquakes can occur at a transform boundary.
Eyjafjallajokull volcano is located on the divergent boundary between the North American Plate and the Eurasian Plate in Iceland.

Refraction occurs when light passes between materials of different optical densities, causing a change in its speed and direction. The change in speed must be coupled with a change in direction to enable refraction to occur.
The 3 types of plate boundaries that occur is the spreading boundary, fracture boundary, and the colliding boundary.
