Explanation:
Seismic waves can be categorized into two main groups;
Body waves and Surface waves
Body waves are propagated through a material
Surface waves moves through the surface
Primary waves:
They are called P-waves or primary waves These waves have the fastest velocity of all types of seismic waves - 5 to 8km/sThey can pass through any materials because they are longitudinal waves. They are also called compressional wavesSecondary waves:
These are s-waves or shear waves and are body wavesThey have a velocity of about 1-5km/s These waves are transverse wavesThey cannot pass through a region made up of fluidsLove waves
They are transverse wavesThese waves are surface wavesThey move horizontally on the surfaceLove waves cannot pass through liquidsRayleigh waves
They are surface wavesThey have both horizontal and vertical motionThey can pass through both liquids and solids.Ответ:
