Because those are the last names of the scientists that discovered, documented, and explained them and their effects.
The surface waves (composed in turn of the Rayleigh and Love waves) are the slowest seismic waves.
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.
p wave comes first s wave comes next and last comes surface wave.
Yes it's true. They are: Primary waves Secondary waves Rayleigh waves Love waves.
Love and Rayleigh waves which are collectively known as surface waves cause the most damage during earthquakes.
technically any seismic wave can destroy a building, but the one most likely to do it are the surface waves
Yes. In a seismic context, P and S waves are body waves while Love and Rayleigh waves are surface waves.
Seismic waves are generated by earthquakes. These can be further divided into surface (Rayleigh and Love) waves and body waves (P and S wave).
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.

Love waves and Rayleigh waves are both guided waves. Love waves occur in a thin plate, while Rayleigh waves are a combination of transverse and longitudinal waves on the surface of a half-space.
rayleigh -8 letters :-)
The L- Wave or the Love and Rayleigh waves (collectively known as surface waves) cause most of the damage during an earthquake.
Longitudinal Waves
The surface waves (of which their are two types, Rayleigh and Love waves) cause the most damage during an earthquake.
