Question

Which type or types of motion is particle motion in surface waves?

Answer 1

c: a combination of longitudinal and transverse

Explanation:

Surface waves are a combination of longitudinal and transverse waves. These waves causes destruction after an earthquake on the ground surface.

• The surface waves are both rayleigh and love waves.
• Rayleigh waves and love waves are responsible for the destruction caused by an earthquake.
• They both have a unique characteristic of being propagated longitudinally and transversely away from their source.
• The spread compressional disturbance and undulating ones at the same time on the earth surface.
• These waves are seismic waves.
