A surface wave, such as Love waves or Rayleigh waves, is a type of seismic wave that travels only along Earth's surface. These waves move in a horizontal, rolling motion, causing both side-to-side and up-and-down vibrations. They are responsible for the most destructive shaking during an earthquake.

What kind of radiation passes through the atmosphere and reaches the earths surface?
Most of the visible light and some of the ultraviolet and infrared radiation from the sun pass through the atmosphere and reach the Earth's surface. Other forms of radiation, such as gamma rays and X-rays, are mostly absorbed by the atmosphere and do not reach the surface.

What is the most important agent sculpting earths land surface?
Water is the most important agent sculpting Earth's land surface. Processes like erosion, weathering, and deposition caused by water in the form of rivers, glaciers, and oceans play a significant role in shaping the Earth's topography over time.
What kind of wave was released during an earthquake?
Seismic waves are released during an earthquake. These waves can be classified into two main types: body waves, which travel through the Earth's interior, and surface waves, which travel along the Earth's surface. The movement of these waves is what causes the ground shaking experienced during an earthquake.
Electrical energy travels from a power station through what kind of source?

What kind of waves can travel through earth and along earths surface?
Seismic waves are the types of waves that can travel through the Earth and along its surface. There are two main types of seismic waves: body waves (such as primary and secondary waves) that travel through the Earth's interior, and surface waves (such as Love and Rayleigh waves) that travel along the Earth's surface.

A geologic map shows rock types making up earths surface.
What kind of igneous rocks for on earths surface?
Some do. These are called extrusive igneous rocks. However a large portion of igneous rocks form beneath the surface. These are intrusive igneous rocks.
