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 are 3 causes of a wave?
Three causes of a wave are wind blowing over the surface of water, earthquakes underwater, and gravitational pull from the moon and sun.
What is a suface wave?
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. ...
What is the media motion of a surface wave?
The media motion of a surface wave consists of particles in the medium moving in a circular or elliptical motion. As the wave passes through a medium boundary, the motion of the particles is a combination of both longitudinal and transverse motion. This unique motion causes the surface wave to travel along the boundary of the two mediums.
What type of wave causes the ground to shake in a motion parallel to the focus moving straight away from epic center?
A type of seismic wave known as a Love wave causes the ground to shake in a horizontal, side-to-side motion parallel to the Earth's surface as it moves away from the earthquake's epicenter. Love waves are surface waves and are characterized by their high amplitude and potential for causing damage.
Which seismic wave causes damage to da surface?
The surface wave.

What seismic wave travels at the lowest rate but causes most destruction?
surface waves
When an earthquake strikes which type of seismic wave causes the most destruction?
Surface waves
An earthquake below the surface of the ocean causes formation of a giant wave known as a?
It is a tsunami
Seismic wave that causes the ground to move in two directions?
secondary waves or otherwise known as s-waves

What wave causes an echo?
Sound waves cause an echo when they bounce off a surface and return to the listener's ear.
What is a small wave called?
surface wave
