Surface waves consist of two main types: Rayleigh waves and Love waves. Rayleigh waves move in an elliptical motion with both vertical and horizontal components, causing ground particles to move in an elliptical path. Love waves, on the other hand, only have horizontal motion and do not involve vertical movement of the ground particles.

What is a small wave called?
surface wave
What happens to a wave when it hits a surface?
When a wave hits a surface, it can be absorbed, reflected, or transmitted through the surface. The type of interaction depends on the properties of the surface and the wave itself. If the surface is smooth, the wave is more likely to be reflected; if the surface is rough, the wave might be absorbed or scattered in multiple directions.
When a wave is coming toward a surface it is called a what?
When a wave is coming toward a surface, it is called an incident wave.
What is it called when a wave's energy is lost to a surface making the wave weaker?
When a wave's energy is lost to a surface, resulting in the wave becoming weaker, it is called wave absorption or wave attenuation. This can occur when the wave interacts with the surface material and causes it to dissipate or absorb the energy of the wave.
What do you call it when a waves energy is lost to the surface?
When a wave's energy is lost to the surface, it is called wave damping. This typically occurs due to friction between the wave and the surface it is traveling on, causing a gradual decrease in the wave's energy.

A Surface Wave.
What form does a wave front have A sine wave B surface of a sphere?
A wave front has a form that is a surface of a sphere.

Is a surface wave mechanical wave?
no its a totally seperate wave
When a sound wave strikes a smooth hard surface the wave is?
When a sound wave strikes a smooth hard surface the wave bounces off. This means that the wave is deflected.
