Seismic Wave Animations 1 Larry Braile, Purdue University web.ics.purdue.edu/~braile Last modified April 22, This PowerPoint file: PowerPoint file, full presentation: Full activity: Partial funding for this development provided by the National Science Foundation.  Copyright L.

View of 3-D grid used to illustrate seismic wave propagation. The mesh (grid) represents a volume of elastic material through which waves can propagate in the direction shown. The 3-D grid is shown in perspective view to demonstrate the wave propagation effects and particle motions of the different wave types in all directions. In the animations shown below, Compressional, Shear, Rayleigh and Love wave propagation through the elastic material is illustrated. In this 3-D volume, the grid is designed to have an upper surface (corresponding to the Earth’s surface) that consists of a boundary with a vacuum or very low density fluid above so that surface wave propagation (Rayleigh and Love waves) as well as body wave propagation (Compressional and Shear waves) can be illustrated.

Compressional Wave (P-Wave) Animation Deformation propagates. Particle motion consists of alternating compression and dilation. Particle motion is parallel to the direction of propagation (longitudinal). Material returns to its original shape after wave passes.

Shear Wave (S-Wave) Animation Deformation propagates. Particle motion consists of alternating transverse motion. Particle motion is perpendicular to the direction of propagation (transverse). Transverse particle motion shown here is vertical but can be in any direction. However, Earth’s layers tend to cause mostly vertical (SV; in the vertical plane) or horizontal (SH) shear motions. Material returns to its original shape after wave passes.

Rayleigh Wave (R-Wave) Animation Deformation propagates. Particle motion consists of elliptical motions (generally retrograde elliptical) in the vertical plane and parallel to the direction of propagation. Amplitude decreases with depth. Material returns to its original shape after wave passes.

Love Wave (L-Wave) Animation Deformation propagates. Particle motion consists of alternating transverse motions. Particle motion is horizontal and perpendicular to the direction of propagation (transverse). To aid in seeing that the particle motion is purely horizontal, focus on the Y axis (red line) as the wave propagates through it. Amplitude decreases with depth. Material returns to its original shape after wave passes.
