Love waves are a type of surface seismic waves that move horizontally from side to side in a horizontal plane perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. These waves can cause shaking and damage to structures as they travel through the Earth's crust.

Which type of earthquakes waves move the slowest?

The surface waves (composed in turn of the Rayleigh and Love waves) are the slowest seismic waves.


What happens when the objects in the way of the waves move?

When objects in the way of waves move, the waves can be blocked or absorbed by the objects. This can cause the waves to change direction, scatter, or reflect off the moving objects. The movement of the objects can also affect the amplitude and wavelength of the waves.


What are the two types of surface wave?

The three types of seismic waves are:P waves, S waves, and Surface waves


When waves hit you whch way do you move?

you dont move beause all waves are too light or they are all coming at different directions


What are the subtypes of secondary waves?

The subtypes of secondary waves (S-waves) are Love waves and Rayleigh waves. Love waves cause horizontal movement, while Rayleigh waves cause both horizontal and vertical movement. Both types of waves are surface waves that move along the Earth's crust.


Do p waves or surface waves move faster?

No. Surface waves are slower than both P and S-waves.


Why does the moon makes the waves?

the moon makes the waves move with gravitation. the moon pulls all the waves to come it's way using gravitation. and the other reason why the waves move is because the wind blows the waves. Natalie w.


What are the parts of surface wave?

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 Vibrations that move through the ground carrying the energy released during an earthquake are called .?

These are known as seismic waves - of which there are 4 types; P-waves, S-waves and Love and Rayleigh waves.


What are p-waves also known as?

P-waves and primary waves are the same thing. They may also be known as pressure waves (or compression waves) due to their mode of propagation, the way they move through the Earth.
