Love wave - Wikipedia
WEBLove waves are a type of seismic wave that causes horizontal shifting of the Earth during an earthquake. They are different from Rayleigh waves, which are also surface waves, and they are named after Augustus Edward Hough Love, who predicted their existence mathematically in 1911.
Undersea origins of Earth’s mysterious Love waves
WEBNov 13, 2020 · Love waves are seismic vibrations that jostle underground rock particles side to side, generated by wind-whipped ocean waves at the seafloor. A Stanford-led team used supercomputer simulations to show how the Earth's structure and materials transform Rayleigh waves into Love waves.

WEBLearn how earthquakes generate different types of waves, such as P, S, Rayleigh and Love waves, and how they move through the earth and cause damage. See examples, activities and images to understand the physics of seismic waves.
Undersea origins of Earth's mysterious Love waves
WEBNov 13, 2020 · Love waves are seismic vibrations that jostle underground rock particles side to side, generated by wind-driven ocean storms. A Stanford-led research team used supercomputer simulations to show how the structure of Earth's upper layers converts Rayleigh waves to Love waves.

Exploratorium: Faultline
WEBLove waves shake the surface side-to-side. Rayleigh waves move the surface of the earth around in a circle, forward and down then back and up. This is the same as the motion in an ocean wave.
Love Waves: A Key Component of Seismological Research
WEBLove waves are seismic surface waves that travel horizontally and are influenced by the Earth's layered structure. Learn about their unique movement, dispersion, speed, amplitude, damage potential and practical uses in seismology and geophysical exploration.
