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.

Which earthquake waves are most destructive to buildings?
technically any seismic wave can destroy a building, but the one most likely to do it are the surface waves
What type of seismic waves cause the most damage?
The surface waves (of which their are two types, Rayleigh and Love waves) cause the most damage during an earthquake.
Which seismic waves are the most destructive overall?
The Surface waves (of which there are two - the Love and Rayleigh waves) are the most destructive seismic waves as they have the largest amplitude.Surface waves cause the most damage as they have the largest amplitude of all the seismic waves.S Wave.yhuk
What is S-P lag time?
the difference between the arrival of the p-wave and s-wave
Which seismic waves make the ground roll like ocean waves?
Rayleigh waves which are a type of seismic surface wave.
Why they are called rayleigh wave and love wave?
Because those are the last names of the scientists that discovered, documented, and explained them and their effects.
Which earthquake waves are most destructive to buildings?

Is a P-wave a body wave?
Yes. In a seismic context, P and S waves are body waves while Love and Rayleigh waves are surface waves.
Type of wave generated by an earthquake?
Seismic waves are generated by earthquakes. These can be further divided into surface (Rayleigh and Love) waves and body waves (P and S wave).
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 wave cause most of the 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 type of seismic waves cause the most damage?
The surface waves (of which their are two types, Rayleigh and Love waves) cause the most damage during an earthquake.
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.
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.
Explain the difference between a wave and a wavelength?
A wave is a normal wave and a wave length is the wave Height or distance
The main difference between a radio wave and a light wave is its?
Wavelength.
