Surface waves are seismic waves that travel along the Earth's surface, causing the ground to move in a rolling or swaying motion. They are slower than body waves and can cause the most damage during an earthquake due to their longer duration and ability to produce large amplitudes. Surface waves can be categorized into two types: Love waves, which move horizontally and perpendicular to the direction of wave travel, and Rayleigh waves, which move in an elliptical motion similar to ocean waves.
What else can I help you with?
What type of waves are sound waves, and are they transverse waves?
Sound waves are longitudinal waves, not transverse waves.
Are radio waves transverse waves or longitudinal waves?
Transverse. Radio waves are electromagnetic waves, which are transverse.
What do you call waves that require a medium A electromagnetic waves or B mechanical waves?
Mechanical waves, shock waves, etc.
What are examples of longitudinal waves?
Examples of longitudinal waves include sound waves, seismic waves, and sound waves in solids (such as ultrasound waves). These waves propagate by compressing and rarefying the medium in the direction of wave motion.
Kind of wave released during an wave?
During an earthquake, seismic waves are released. These waves travel through the Earth and can be detected by seismographs. The main types of seismic waves are P-waves (primary waves), S-waves (secondary waves), and surface waves.
What is the study of the earths serface called?
geology
What is Plutos serface like?
rocky and blue
What is a rectangular face?
if you have a 3d cuboid it is the smooth serface
What does the serface of Uluru feel like?
Go rub a rock
Why are geysers were they are?
Geysers are caused by pressure under the earth's serface, kind of like a tea kettle, the magma heats the under waters springs untill it explodes. So geysers are found near hotsprings deep below the serface.
Is Heat radiation depent the quality of serface its smoothness or raughness?
Conduction may be, but not radiation.
Why can a sewing neadle flote on the serface of water?
it doesn't have enough force to brake the surface tension
How do you look above the water in Endless Ocean?
You go up to the serface as far as you can go. Hope this Helps!
What is the serface gravity of Earth?
The surface gravity of earth is one g (by definition), or -9.8 m/s^2.
What animals live in the open sea serface?
cute fishys.. big ones, little ones.. and shinny ones:)
How do you find the serface area of a sphere?
note; radius is 1/2 the diameter 4 x 3.14 x radius2
The amount of force exerted per unit areaof a serface is?
so what would it be infiltation,pressure,nitrates,precolation,groundwater,or precipitation?
