Information on the intensities of early Texas earthquakes mainly arose from reports of personal experiences; more seismograph stations were installed in Texas after around 1970. [2] In the 20th century, over 100 earthquakes strong enough to be felt occurred in the state, with epicenters in 40 Texas counties.
Rayleigh waves are generated by the interaction of P- and S- waves at the surface of the earth, and travel with a velocity that is lower than the P-, S-, and Love wave velocities. Rayleigh waves emanating outward from the epicenter of an earthquake travel along the surface of the earth at about 10 times the speed of sound in air (0.340 km/s ...
a wave that travels along the boundary between the crust and mantle P: a P wave in the mantle p: a P wave ascending to the surface from the focus R: a Rayleigh wave S: an S wave in the mantle s: an S wave ascending to the surface from the focus w: the wave reflects off the bottom of the ocean No letter is used when the wave reflects off of the ...
This radiative ground wave is known as Norton surface wave, or more properly Norton ground wave, because ground waves in radio propagation are not confined to the surface. Another type of surface wave is the non-radiative, bound-mode Zenneck surface wave or Zenneck–Sommerfeld surface wave .

Since 1950, there have been more than 9,700 tornadoes in Texas, killing hundreds and leaving behind billions of dollars worth of damage. On March 21, 2022, a tornado tore through Round Rock ...
Low velocity, low frequency and high amplitude Rayleigh waves are frequently present on a seismic record and can obscure signal, degrading overall data quality. They are known within the industry as ‘Ground Roll’ and are an example of coherent noise that can be attenuated with a carefully designed seismic survey. [ 13 ]
