GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -S waves shake the ground in a shearing, or crosswise, motion that is perpendicular to the direction of travel. These are the shake waves that move the ground up and down or from side to side. S waves are called secondary waves because they always arrive after P waves at seismic recording stations.

Detailed explanation-2: -S waves move rock particles up and down, or side-to-side, and are always perpendicular to the direction that the wave is traveling in (the direction of wave propagation).

Detailed explanation-3: -S-waves. S-waves, also known as secondary waves, shear waves or shaking waves, are transverse waves that travel slower than P-waves. In this case, particle motion is perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation.

Detailed explanation-4: -S-Waves-Secondary waves, also called shear waves. They travel with a velocity that depends only on the rigidity and density of the material through which they travel: S-waves travel through material by shearing it or changing its shape in the direction perpendicular to the direction of travel.

Detailed explanation-5: -S waves and P waves S waves also called secondary waves and shear waves, are the second waves to hit the seismographs. They are transverse waves, which means that the motion is perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation.
