Natural Earth Waves, Known as Body Waves: Types and Wavelengths

Type ofWave    Description    Hertz

P (Primary orpush) Longitudinal compressional sound    1-20

waves - acoustic.

S(Secondary/    Polarized at 90° to the direction of    1-100

shake/shear)*    propagation.

SH {Horizontal)    The horizontal component of S waves;    1-100

particles will oscillate on the horizontal piane.

SV (Vertical)    The vertical component of S waves;    1-100

particles will oscillate on the vertical piane. LorQ(Loveor    Particles will vibrate transverse to the    0.3-1

Querwellen)    direction of travel, but there is no vertical

(Cross waves)    component. Propagated in a medium with a

reflecting surface and equivalent to SH waves reflected up and down within layers of the Earth’s crust, e.g., rock/air. The British geophysicist Augustus Love calculated in the nineteenth century that as earthąuakes send up-and-down ripples shuddering through the mantle, a secondary set of

' s waves will not travcrsc fluids.
