There are two main types of surface waves:Love Waves, which move the ground from side-to-side. They are the fastest surface wave. Rayleigh Waves, which roll along the ground like an ocean wave.SeismographSeismographs record the arrival of earthquake waves. They operate using a shock absorbing...
Seismic waves are the waves of energy caused by the sudden breaking of rock within the earth or an explosion. They are the energy that travels through the earth and is recorded on seismographs. Types of Seismic Waves There are several different kinds of seismic waves, and they all move in ...
The shifting rock in an earthquake causes vibrations called seismic waves that travel within Earth or along its surface. The four main types of seismic waves are P waves, S waves, Love waves, and Rayleigh waves.
Types of Seismic Waves There are two main types of seismic waves: body waves and surface waves. These are further subdivided into two body and two surface waves. Body waves are seismic waves that are capable of traveling through the deep layers of the Earth (all the way to the core). ...
Seismic waves are caused by the sudden movement of materials within the Earth, such as slip along a fault during an earthquake. Volcanic eruptions, explosions,
Seismic Waves: Seismic waves are defined as waves produced on Earth's inner surface due to the activity of earthquakes, volcano eruptions, and other events associated with seismology. Seismic waves can be classified in two types, longitudinal, compressional waves or transverse, shear waves. ...
Velocity of seismic waves in the basement of oil-bearing basins in the Pearl River mouth region of the South China SeaAnalyses of the velocities of multichannel seismic reflection profiles in the Pearl River mouth region indicate that there are two main types of seismic sequences below the ...
Seismic waves are fundamentally of two types, compressional,longitudinal waves or shear, transverse waves. Through the body of the Earth these are called P waves (for primary because they are fastest) and S waves (for secondary since they are slower). However where a free surface is ...

Whereas previous workers have mainly treated normally incident S waves, we allow the waves to be of SV, P, or SH types and to have arbitrary angles of incidence. Following standard practice the problem is set up as a matrix differential system, but in such a way that incident SV and P ...
