🌍 Seismic Deep Dive: S Waves! 🌊
1️⃣ What are S Waves? S Waves, or secondary waves, are a type of seismic wave that shake the ground in a side-to-side perpendicular motion. They're the second-fastest waves.
Seismic waves are powerful energy waves triggered by events like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions🌋, or even human-made.
Types of Seismic Waves
1️⃣ P-waves: Fast and compressional! 🚀
2️⃣ S-waves: Shearing and shake things up! 🌀
3️⃣ Surface waves: Rolling across
Spotted yesterday at #MaunaLoa – a lava boat rides the waves! On Dec 7, a lava boat was spotted floating down channel. Lava boats can form when portions of the cone or lava channel break away & are rafted downstream. Hot lava cools to its surface to create that smooth exterior.

The Nobel Prize in Physics 2022 has been awarded to Alain Aspect, John F. Clauser and Anton Zeilinger “for experiments with entangled photons, establishing the violation of Bell inequalities and pioneering quantum information science.”
Evaporite rocks have unique mechanical properties compared to other rock types, and worldwide evaporite formations have been proposed as suitable subsurface storage sites for carbon, nuclear waste, and Geo-Energy applications, which are key for the Energy Transition 🌎🌍🌏. 2/10
