An S wave is slower than a P wave and only moves through solid rock. This wave moves rock up and down, or side-to-side. Because P waves are compression waves, they can move through a liquid. However, S waves cannot move through a liquid. This is because a liquid is not rigid enough to transmit an S wave.
The seismic waves that cause the majority of damage in earthquakes are the surface waves of which there are two types. Rayleigh waves.Love waves. Surface waves have high ampâ¦litudes (which in turn means they have a large amount of energy). These high amplitude surface waves cause surface deformations. Rayleigh waves are very similar to the waves you would see on the surface of water. Love waves are surface shear waves and are similar to the waves you would get if you stretched out a slinky spring then shook one end from side to side.
