Glossary:Love wave
Is a surface wave that propagates along the Earth/air interface and creates a particle displacement that is tangent to the Earth surface and also perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. A Love wave does not propagate in the interior of the Earth. See body wave, ground roll, Rayleigh wave, and surface wave.
