Distinguish between body waves and surface waves |
| Answer» Body wave -A body wave is a seismic wave that moves through the interior of the earth, as opposed to surface waves that travel near the earth\'s surface. P and S waves are body waves. Each type of wave shakes the ground in different ways...Surface wave -seismic wave that travels across the surface of the Earth as opposed to through it. Surface waves usually have larger amplitudes and longer wavelengths than body waves, and they travel more slowly than body waves do. Love waves and Rayleigh waves are kinds of surface waves. | |
