Types of Siesmic Waves
Body Waves - travel thru the Earth - P waves
- S waves
Surface Waves - travel around the Earth - Love waves
- Rayleigh waves, ground roll
![Page 18: bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-pacific-12729485](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103100/5681323a550346895d98a148/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
P Wave- result from alternating compression and expansion of material
![Page 19: bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-pacific-12729485](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103100/5681323a550346895d98a148/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
P waves: - primary waves -
compressional wave
- movement is in the same direction that the wave is traveling
- highest velocity seismic wave (4mi/s)
- travel through solids, liquids, and gases

S wave - distortion of material, perpendicular to the direction the wave is traveling.
![Page 22: bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-pacific-12729485](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103100/5681323a550346895d98a148/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
S waves: - secondary waves -
transverse or shear waves - slower than P waves (2mi/s)
- can only pass through solids - slightly greater amplitude than P
waves

Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale from FEMA
I. People do not feel any Earth movement.
II. A few people might notice movement if they are at rest and/or on the upper floors of tall buildings.
III. Many people indoors feel movement. Hanging objects swing back and forth. People outdoors might not realize that an earthquake is occurring.
IV. Most people indoors feel movement. Hanging objects swing. Dishes, windows, and doors rattle. The earthquake feels like a heavy truck hitting the walls. A few people outdoors may feel movement. Parked cars rock.
V. Almost everyone feels movement. Sleeping people are awakened. Doors swing open or close. Dishes are broken. Pictures on the wall move. Small objects move or are turned over. Trees might shake. Liquids might spill out of open containers.
![Page 28: bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-pacific-12729485](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103100/5681323a550346895d98a148/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
VI. Everyone feels movement. People have trouble walking. Objects fall from shelves. Pictures fall off walls. Furniture moves. Plaster in walls might crack. Trees and bushes shake. Damage is slight in poorly built buildings. No structural damage.
VII. People have difficulty standing. Drivers feel their cars shaking. Some furniture breaks. Loose bricks fall from buildings. Damage is slight to moderate in well-built buildings; considerable in poorly built buildings.
VIII. Drivers have trouble steering. Houses that are not bolted down might shift on their foundations. Tall structures such as towers and chimneys might twist and fall. Well-built buildings suffer slight damage. Poorly built structures suffer severe damage. Tree branches break. Hillsides might crack if the ground is wet. Water levels in wells might change.
IX. Well-built buildings suffer considerable damage. Houses that are not bolted down move off their foundations. Some underground pipes are broken. The ground cracks. Reservoirs suffer serious damage.

X. Most buildings and their foundations are destroyed. Some bridges are destroyed. Dams are seriously damaged. Large landslides occur. Water is thrown on the banks of canals, rivers, lakes. The ground cracks in large areas. Railroad tracks are bent slightly.
XI. Most buildings collapse. Some bridges are destroyed. Large cracks appear in the ground. Underground pipelines are destroyed. Railroad tracks are badly bent.
XII. Almost everything is destroyed. Objects are thrown into the air. The ground moves in waves or ripples. Large amounts of rock may move.

Travel of Seismic Waves
In homogeneous material, they travel in a straight line.
When seismic waves encounter a boundary, they will reflect or refract.

Reflection – return of wave off a boundary (bounce back)
Refraction – change in direction and velocity of the wave
