P-Wave Particle Motion

S-Wave Particle Motion

Rayleigh-Wave Particle Motion

Love-Wave Particle Motion

On to refraction Sources include a power point presentation from IRIS – arth_structure_is_determined arth_structure_is_determined –

The first head wave is a reflected wave at the critical angle i c

The Head wave moves along the surface at the SPEED OF THE LOWER LAYER!!!

Time Distance Direct wave: Slope is 1/v 1 The cross-over distance, x cross, is related to the depth to the boundary! Head wave: Slope is 1/v 2 x cross
