Describe surface waves and their most important two types. What will be an ideal response?
Surface waves travel along the surface of the ground and are slower than body waves. They produce a
rolling or swaying motion. The most important types of surface waves are Reyleigh waves (R-waves),
which are the slower of the two and move material in an elliptical path, and Love waves (L-waves),
which move material back and forth in a horizontal plane.
