S wave

Can you remind me about the p and s waves.

The main problem is that many charts have more than P and S waves plotted.

The building shook violently from side to side, S waves, big ones shivering the mantle.

On average, the kilometer distance to the earthquake is the number of seconds between the P and S wave times 8.

The next set of seismic waves on the seismogram will be the S waves.

Wendy finally took her hand off the mouse she had been using to plot P and S waves when I first came in.

Unlike P waves, S waves don't move straight through the Earth.

Surface waves are combinations of P and S waves.

The "first point of inflection of the upstroke of the S wave"

Secondary waves (also called shear waves, or S waves) are another type of body wave.

Range corrections to doublet S wave neutron deuteron scattering.

S waves can travel only through solids, as fluids (liquids and gases) do not support shear stresses.

Different kinds of tremors, P waves, S waves.

As S waves move, they displace rock particles outward, pushing them perpendicular to the path of the waves.

They usually travel slightly faster than Rayleigh waves, about 90% of the S wave velocity, and have the largest amplitude.

They are slower than body waves, roughly 90% of the velocity of S waves for typical homogeneous elastic media.

ScP is a wave that begins traveling towards the center of the Earth as an S wave.

The velocity of p and s waves depends on the rheology of the material that they travel through (density and elasticity).

In the Earth's interior the shock- or P waves travel much faster than the S waves (approx.

This appears to be universally present for S waves, but may be absent in certain regions for P waves.

These waves can travel through any type of material, including fluids, and can travel at nearly twice the speed of S waves.

There are many types of seismic waves, body wave, surface waves, S waves and P waves.

First came the fast, short-amplitude P waves (for primary), then the slower but bigger S waves (for secondary).

S waves are slower than P waves, and speeds are typically around 60% of that of P waves in any given material.

An R wave follows as an upward deflection, and the S wave is any downward deflection after the R wave.
