P-wave | The motion of the particles is in the direction of the propagation of the seismic energy. | POSC | epicentre 2.1 | current |
S-wave | The motion of the particles is orthogonal to the direction of the propagation of the seismic energy. | POSC | epicentre 2.1 | current |
SV-wave | The vertical component of the S-wave. | POSC | epicentre 2.1 | current |
SH-wave | The horizontal component of the S-wave. | POSC | epicentre 2.1 | current |
Rayleigh wave | The motion of the particles is retrograde, elliptical, as is characteristic of a free surface wave. | POSC | epicentre 3.0 | current |
