shear-wave seismology
1Seismology — (from Greek gr. σεισμός, seismos , earthquake ; and gr. λογία, logia ) is the scientific study of earthquakes and the propagation of elastic waves through the Earth. The field also includes studies of earthquake effects, such as tsunamis as well… …
2S-wave — can also refer to the lowest energy electronic wavefunction in atomic physics; see atomic orbital. A type of seismic wave, the S wave, secondary wave, or shear wave, sometimes called an elastic S wave, is one of the two main types of elastic body …
3Reflection seismology — (or seismic reflection) is a method of exploration geophysics that uses the principles of seismology to estimate the properties of the Earth s subsurface from reflected seismic waves. The method requires a controlled seismic source of energy,… …
4P-wave — This article is on the type of seismic wave. For the term used in electrocardiography, see P wave (electrocardiography). P wave can also refer to a type of electronic wavefunction in atomic physics; see atomic orbital. Plane P wave …
5Seismic wave — Seismic waves are waves that travel through the Earth, most often as the result of a tectonic earthquake, sometimes from an explosion. Seismic waves are also continually excited by the pounding of ocean waves and the wind. Seismic waves are… …
6Surface acoustic wave — A surface acoustic wave (SAW) is an acoustic wave traveling along the surface of a material having some elasticity, with an amplitude that typically decays exponentially with the depth of the substrate. This kind of wave is commonly used in… …
7Love wave — In elastodynamics, Love waves are essentially horizontally polarized shear waves (SH waves) guided by an elastic layer, which is welded to an elastic half space on one side while bordering a vacuum on the other side. In seismology, Love waves… …
