What type of seismic wave can make the ground roll like ocean waves?
Surface waves can cause the ground to roll like ocean waves. Surface waves are a type of seismic wave that travel along the Earth's surface and have a more pronounced effect on buildings and structures compared to other types of seismic waves.
Which seismic waves make the ground roll like ocean waves?
Surface waves, specifically Love and Rayleigh waves, are responsible for creating the rolling motion in the ground during an earthquake. These waves travel along the surface of the Earth and can cause buildings and structures to sway back and forth, similar to ocean waves.
What kind of movement is produced by each type of the three seismic waves?
P waves - compress and expand the ground like a accordion S waves - vibrate from side to side as well as up and down Surface waves - make the ground roll like ocean waves The Earthquake is produced by each of the three types of seismic waves.
What kind of movements is produced by each of the three types of seismic waves?
P waves - compress and expand the ground like a Accordion S waves - vibrate from side to side as well as up and down Surface waves - make the ground roll like ocean waves The Earthquake is produced by each of the three types of seismic waves.
Waves that can make the ground roll like ocean waves they usually cause the most damage during an earthquake?
These are known as seismic surface waves. They travel along the Earth's surface and cause the ground to move in a rolling motion. They are responsible for the most damage during an earthquake as they can generate strong shaking and displacement of structures.

How are ocean waves different from sound waves?
Ocean waves have a distinct sound that soothes a lot of people and can help people sleep. They make a sort of whooshing sound and almost sounds like the wind mixed with water.
How does each wave differ?
P waves and S waves. P waves arrive first and make a ripple like effect through the ground and S waves arrive second and make a twisting/circular wave.
Does ocean waves make metamorphic?
Nope.
What is You make one of these when you speak the ocean makes a different type and you might have another kind in your hair?
A wave. You make sound waves when you speak, the ocean has waves on its surface and you can have waves in your hair.
Which types of seismic wave produces the most severe ground movement?
Rayleigh waves (which are a type of surface wave) produce the largest amplitude and so most severe ground movements during earthquakes.Surface waves produce the most severe ground movements. They produce movements similar to waves in the water, where the water's particles move in a pattern that is almost circular. Surface waves can make the ground roll like ocean waves or shake buildings from side to side. They move more slowly then P waves or S waves.
Is an ocean in motion with ocean waves and tides?
Yes, as the waves are circling underwater they tend to bring the tide up and make it visible.
