    These waves travel at different speeds: P-waves are fastest, then S-waves, then Love waves, then Rayleigh. Since seismic recordings are measures of earth displacement, particle velocity, or water pressure over elapsed time, this means the waves show up at different times in the record.

    When the angle of incidence of P wave reaches 2nd critical angle, both outgoing P and SV waves propagate along the surface forming Rayleigh wave. So, P-wave by itself can form Rayleigh wave. At the same time, incident SV wave can transform to reflected P and SV waves. When the angle of incidence of SV wave (again) reaches second critical angle ...

    earthscience.stackexchange.com/questions/420

    The particles in some surface waves, including wind waves and Rayleigh waves (a component of what is often called ground roll), have in a circular or elliptical motion — in the case of a wind wave the motion is clockwise if the wave is traveling from left to right (see this animated comparison for Rayleigh waves).

  5. Unlike moving ocean waves, the Rayleigh waves move vertically as well as horizontally in a vertical plane pointing in the direction the waves are heading in. Surface waves travel slower than body waves (P and S); and love waves typically travel faster than Rayleigh waves from the two surface waves. Forces of Love (do not spread by water) Can ...

    1. Love-waves cannot exist in a half-space. Layering must be present and there also must be accompanied impedance contrasts associated with the layering. Because layering naturally induces seismic dispersion (in certain frequency ranges) and layering must be present for Love-wave generation, does that - as a corollary - indicate that Love-waves ...

    for V r (Rayleigh waves) I know the boundary conditions for V r , that is the half-space (null stress at the surface and null displacements and stress at infinite depth). What would be the boundary conditions for V p and V s solutions and why do they derivate for infinite medium and not half-space?

  9. C. Surface waves can be love waves or Rayleigh waves. D. Body waves have primary and secondary waves. 11. Seismic waves start at the _____. A. Epicentre B. focus C. seismopoint D. seismic gap 12. Which indicate that the outer core is liquid and the inner core is solid? A. P-waves B. S-waves C. Surface waves D. Ocean waves 13.

  10. 2. **Rayleigh Waves:** - Rayleigh waves, also known as R-waves, are another type of surface seismic wave. - They are slower than Love waves and travel in a rolling motion, similar to ocean waves. - Rayleigh waves cause both vertical and horizontal ground motion, resulting in an elliptical or rolling motion of the ground.

  11. Love Waves. Love waves are faster than Rayleigh waves. It can cause the most damage to structures during earthquake since it moves the ground in a side-to-side horizontal motion. Rayleigh waves. This waves seen as the one rolling along the ground, cause the most shaking felt from earthquake, move the ground either up and down. Your guide: Q1.
