Answer:
What are the characteristics of p-wave, s-wave, love wave, and rayleigh wave?
P (Primary) and S (Secondary) Waves are often correlated body waves with Seismic Waves, as in Earthquakes.
The waves of body waves and surfaces compose an earthquake, but the waves of the body come first. Main is first, and secondary is, of course, second.
P Waves are compressional, meaning they pass (compress) through a solid or liquid by pushing or pulling similar to how the sound moves through the air. The material particles a P Wave passes through travel in the direction of energy from the P wave.
It is called
Wave Propagation Direction.
2. S waves are slower than P waves, and can pass only across solid rocks.
S waves shift the particles that it moves up and down, or side by side (perpendicular to the strength of the S waves).
Surface waves can be classified into two forms of Earthquakes.
The first one is called a Wave of Passion.
3. Love and Rayleigh waves are guided by the free surface of the Earth. They follow along after the P and S waves have passed through the body of the planet. Both Love and Rayleigh waves involve horizontal particle motion, but only the latter type has vertical ground.
What are the characteristics of surface waves?
Surface waves span a wide frequency range, and the period of waves that are most damaging is usually 10 seconds or longer. Surface waves can travel around the globe many times from the largest earthquakes. Surface waves are caused when P waves and S waves come to the surface.
Two Types Of Surface Waves are named:
The two types of surface waves are named Love waves and Rayleigh waves, after the scientists who identified them. Love waves have a horizontal motion that moves the surface from side to side perpendicular to the direction the wave is traveling. Of the two surface waves, Love waves move faster.
