Surface waves
In physics, a surface wave is a mechanical wave that propagates along the interface between differing media, usually two fluids with different densities. A surface wave can also be an electromagnetic wave guided by a refractive index gradient. ...
a seismic wave
The L- Wave or the Love and Rayleigh waves (collectively known as surface waves) cause most of the damage during an earthquake.
The seismic waves that cause the majority of damage in earthquakes are the surface waves of which there are two types.
secondary waves or otherwise known as s-waves
Surface waves are caused by the interaction between seismic waves and the Earth's surface. These waves travel along the Earth's crust and can cause the ground to shake horizontally and vertically. Surface waves are typically the most destructive type of seismic waves during an earthquake.
A seismic wave that travels along the Earth's surface is called a surface wave. These waves tend to cause the most damage during an earthquake because they have a longer wavelength and higher amplitudes compared to other types of seismic waves like body waves.
A Surface Wave.
The love wave is a type of surface seismic wave that travels along the Earth's surface and is important in understanding seismic activity because it can cause significant ground shaking and damage during earthquakes. By studying the characteristics of love waves, scientists can better understand the behavior of seismic waves and improve earthquake prediction and hazard assessment.
