shearbølgerne
Shearbølgerne, also known as shear waves or transverse waves, are a type of seismic wave that travels through the Earth's interior. Unlike compressional waves (P-waves), shear waves cause particles in the rock to move perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. Imagine a rope being shaken up and down; the wave travels horizontally along the rope, but the rope itself moves vertically. This characteristic motion is what defines a shear wave.
Shear waves are slower than P-waves and cannot travel through liquids. This is because liquids lack the
This behavior of shear waves has been crucial in understanding the Earth's internal structure. By observing
