What do rayleigh waves travel through?
Rayleigh Waves propagate along boundary between two dissimilar solid media, in a plane perpendicular to the surface and containing the direction of propagation.
Energy that travels in waves in all directions from its source?
sound waves
Which waves causes the medium to vibrate only in a directions parallel to the wave motion?
Longitudal waves
What are the names of the waves?
Love waves and Rayleigh waves are surface waves
What do L waves travel through?
L waves, also known as Love waves, are a type of surface wave that travel through the solid layer of the Earth's crust. These waves move by shaking the ground side-to-side in a horizontal direction. L waves are slower than other seismic waves but can cause significant damage during earthquakes.
How do Rayleigh waves move the ground?
Rayleigh waves cause the ground to move with an elliptical, rolling motion.
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 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.
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.
Which type of wave caused by an earthquake does the most above-ground damage?
Rayleigh waves, which are caused by interaction of the P waves and S waves. Rayleigh waves cause the most surface damage because they 'roll' the ground, causing building to topple, roads to crack and fall apart and more cracks and fissues to appear in flat level ground, such as fields and parks.
Which seismic waves make the ground roll like ocean waves?
Rayleigh waves which are a type of seismic surface wave.
What is stronger love waves or Rayleigh waves?
rayleigh -8 letters :-)
Which seismic waves cause the least damage?
The Love and Rayleigh waves (collectively known as surface waves) are the slowest moving but most damaging of the seismic waves.
What is rayleigh scattering?
Rayleigh waves are a type of Surface wave. Surface waves occur when Secondary waves and Primary waves reach the Surface of the Earth's crust during an earthquake. Surface waves cause the most damage.
Which seismic waves cause most of damage during an earthquake?
The L- Wave or the Love and Rayleigh waves (collectively known as surface waves) cause most of the damage during an earthquake.
What Vibrations that move through the ground carrying the energy released during an earthquake are called .?
These are known as seismic waves - of which there are 4 types; P-waves, S-waves and Love and Rayleigh waves.
What 2 waves are surface waves?
Love waves and Rayleigh waves are surface waves
