Body waves can travel through the earth's inner layers, but surface waves can only move along the surface of the planet like ripples on water. ... These waves are of a higher frequency than surface waves.

The analysis and use of surface waves (see note on terminology) for remote sensing (of the sea surface, ... Whereas this is true for acoustic surface waves or certain classes of seismic waves, ...
In physics, surface wave can refer to a mechanical wave that propagates along the interface between differing media, usually two fluids with different densities. A surface wave can also be an electromagnetic wave guided by a refractive index gradient. In radio transmission, a ground...
Ocean surface waves are surface waves that occur in the upper layer of the ocean. They usually result from wind, and are also referred to as wind waves. These waves may travel thousands of miles before striking land. They range in size from small ripples to huge rogue waves. There is little actual f...
The second type of deformation, dynamic motions, are essentially sound waves radiated from the earthquake as it ruptures. ... Compressional waves, also known as primary or P waves, travel fastest, ...
Novel Patterns and Chaotic Dynamics of Surface Waves. Nonlinear Physics and Fluid Dynamics Lab (Haverford College) ... Novel Patterns and Chaotic Dynamics of Surface Waves
We have developed a complete ray theory for anisotropic propagation of surface waves, including terms to predict phase, arrival angle, and amplitude.
There are two main types of waves generated by earthquakes, body waves (P-waves, S-waves) and surface waves, which includes Love and Rayleigh waves.
Another example of waves with both longitudinal and transverse motion may be found in solids as Rayleigh surface waves.
