[DOC] [TLE] Types Of Earthquake Waves - allshookup.org [PAR] Earthquake shaking and damage is the result of three basic types of elastic 
waves. ... The faster of these body waves is called the primary or P wave. ... 
Surface waves travel more slowly than body waves (P and S); and of the two 
surface ... Whenever either wave is refracted or reflected, some of the energy of 
one type is... [DOC] [TLE] Seismic Waves Lecture Notes Page [PAR] There are 3 basic types: P waves (primary waves), S waves (secondary or shear 
... To illustrate an S wave, tie one end of a clothesline to a tree. ... These rock 
motions may be in a vertical (Sv) or horizontal (Sh) plane. ... The rock motions 
that are produced when the P and S waves arrive at the Earth's surface generate

or. [DOC] [TLE] What are three types of seismic waves? | Reference.com [PAR] The three types of seismic waves are primary waves, secondary waves and 
surface ... Primary and secondary waves are known as body waves, and these 
waves ... The higher amplitude of surface waves increase their destructive 
capability. ... A: Earthquakes produce two types of potentially destructive waves 
that move... [DOC] [TLE] What Is Seismology and What Are Seismic Waves? [PAR] The two main types of waves are body waves and surface waves. ... These waves 
are of a higher frequency than surface waves. P Waves ... Figure 1 - A P wave 
travels through a medium by means of compression and dilation. ... The second 
type of body wave is the S wave or secondary wave, which is the second wave

relative to the direction of energy propagation is one way waves are 
characterized. There are three categories: ... Surface waves - particles travel in a 
circular motion. [DOC] [TLE] Longitudinal and Transverse Wave Motion [PAR] There are two basic types of wave motion for mechanical waves: longitudinal 
waves ... The animation at right shows a one-dimensional longitudinal plane 
wave ... S waves propagate with a velocity slower than P waves, arriving several 
seconds later. ... The particles in a solid, through which a Rayleigh surface wave 
passes,... [DOC] [TLE] Seimic Waves and Earth's Interior [PAR] These are the waves that do the most damage to our buildings, highways, etc. ... 
The first two wave types, P and S , are called body waves because they travel ... 
The latter two are called surface waves they the travel along Earth's surface and 
.... The overall increase in seismic wave speed with depth into Earth produces an
