2 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What are the two main types of seismic waves?
Think about how these waves travel through the Earth.
What do S-waves cause in terms of particle motion?
Consider the direction of travel for S-waves.
What type of wave is an S-wave?
Recall the wave classification we discussed.
True or False: Rayleigh waves travel along the surface and have a retrograde motion.
Think of how ocean waves move.
Describe how you would assess a building's resilience to S-wave induced forces in a seismic zone.
Consider what structural engineers look at during such evaluations.
Evaluate the impact of soil types on Rayleigh wave signals and possible engineering responses.
Think about how soil characteristics affect seismic waves.
