    Dynamic Property of Rocks: Types of Wave Theory

    Uploaded by

    CHRISTIAN NATHANIEL PALMA
    The document discusses different types of seismic waves that move through the Earth during earthquakes. There are two main types of seismic waves: body waves that travel through the Earth's interior, and surface waves that travel along the Earth's surface. Body waves include P waves and S waves, while surface waves include Love waves and Rayleigh waves. The properties and behaviors of each type of seismic wave are described.

    It is a well-known fact that deep geological
    formations are formed according to
    different types of rock layers, and the
    material properties of these rocks are
    significantly different from each other. This
    makes fossil fuel exploration more difficult
    since the drilling and fracturing processes
    need to consider all the existing rock
    materials.
    Researchers and scientists are
    increasingly investigating
    reservoir rock properties,
    specifically their strength and
    elastic properties, to make the
    fossil fuel and geothermal
    energy extraction more
    efficient and economical.
    TYPES OF WAVE
    THEORY

    Seismology is the study of earthquakes and seismic


    waves that move through and around the earth.
    A seismologist is a scientist who studies earthquakes and
    seismic waves.

    Traveling through the interior of the earth, body waves
    arrive before the surface waves emitted by an earthquake.

    Travelling only through the crust, it has a lower frequency than
    body waves, and are easily distinguished on a seismogram.
    surface waves that are almost entirely responsible for the
    damage and destruction associated with earthquakes.
    BODY WAVES

    fastest kind of seismic wave, and,
    consequently, the first to 'arrive' at a
    seismic station. The P wave can move
    through solid rock and fluids, like water or
    the liquid layers of the earth. It pushes and
    S WAV E O R S E C O N D A RY WAV E
    pulls the rock it moves through just like
    sound waves push and pull the air. secondary wave is what you feel in an
    earthquake. An S wave is slower than a P
    wave and can only move through solid
    rock. S waves move rock particles up and
    down, or side to side perpendicular to the
    direction that the wave is traveling.
    SURFACE WAVES

    Named after A.E.H. Love, a British Named after Lord Rayleigh, who mathematically
    mathematician who worked out the predicted the existence of this kind of wave in
    mathematical model for this kind of 1885. A Rayleigh wave rolls along the ground just
    wave in 1911. It's the fastest surface like a wave rolls across a lake or an ocean. Because
    wave and moves the ground from it rolls, it moves the ground up and down, and side-
    side-to-side. Confined to the surface to-side in the same direction that the wave is
    of the crust, Love waves produce moving. Most of the shaking felt from an
    entirely horizontal motion. earthquake is due to the Rayleigh wave, which can
    be much larger than the other waves.
