SEISMIC WAVES have two major types, the____1_____ wave and the_____ 2_____
wave. The
____3_____wave can travel into the interior of the Earth while the____ 4_____
wave travels
only through the crust. Though they arrive after body waves, it is ___5_____wave that is
almost entirely responsible for the damage and destruction associated with earthquakes.
There are two types of surface waves The first wave was named after the British
mathematician Augustus Edward____ 6____ who worked out the mathematical model for this
kind of wave in 1911 that is why it is called ____7____ wave. This wave moves in a horizontal
direction. The other type of surface wave is ____8_____
wave, a type of surface acoustic
wave that travels along the surface of solids causing the ground to shake in an elliptical motion.
The body waves consists the ____9_____
wave and the ____10______
wave. The
type of body wave that can travel in all types of medium ( solid, liquid and gas) is____11______
wave. This is the fastest wave and the first to travel in the interior of the
earth. The ____12_____
wave is another type of body wave that also travels into the interior
of the earth but disappears as it reaches the core. This wave can only travel through ____13______
medium but not in liquid.​
