Examples of 'surface waves' in a sentence

Meaning of "surface waves"

Surface waves refer to a type of seismic waves that propagate along or near the Earth's surface during an earthquake. These waves are characterized by their side-to-side motion and are responsible for causing the most visible damage during an earthquake. Surface waves travel slower than other types of seismic waves but can produce the strongest shaking. They are important for studying the behavior and impact of earthquakes on the Earth's surface
