whereas the Love waves cause the ground to ripple back and forth (like the movement of a snake). 8. Ask the students to recall how scientists use seismic wave observations to investigate the ...

Seismic waves travel outward from the portion of the fault ... They do the damage in Earthquakes. Love waves shake the ground side-to-side like an S wave. Rayleigh waves displace the ground like ...

but bounced off of features in the Earth or at the surface and arrived at the seismic station a little later. The surface waves (Love and Rayleigh waves) are the other, often larger, waves marked on ...

Abstract: We present the results of Rayleigh wave and Love wave phase velocity tomography in the western United States using ambient seismic noise observed at over 250 broad-band stations from the ...

Abstract: We analyse the volumetric sensitivity of fault zone seismic head and trapped waves ... the low-velocity fault zone layer. Trapped waves are shown to exhibit sensitivity patterns similar to ...

This repository reproduces the results of the paper: Fast approximate simulation of seismic waves with deep learning, NeurIPS 2018, B. Moseley, A. Markham and T. Nissen-Meyer. Our dataset is also ...

A surface wave travels along the surface of the Earth. It is the slowest of the three types of seismic wave. Surface waves usually have larger amplitude than the other waves and cause the most damage.
