==== SV wave propagation ==== [[File:SV wave propagation.gif|thumb|upright=1.4|The propagation of SV-wave in a homogeneous half-space (the horizontal displacement field)]] [[File:SV wave propagation y.gif|thumb|upright=1.4|The propagation of SV-wave in a homogeneous half-space (The vertical displacement field){{clarify|date=May 2023}}]] The analytical solution of SV-wave in a half-space indicates that the plane SV wave reflects back to the domain as a P and SV waves, leaving out special cases. The angle of the reflected SV wave is identical to the incidence wave, while the angle of the reflected P wave is greater than the SV wave. For the same wave frequency, the SV wavelength is smaller than the P wavelength. This fact has been depicted in this animated picture.<ref>The animations are taken from {{cite web | url = https://sites.google.com/a/utexas.edu/babakpoursartip/research | title = Topographic amplification of seismic waves | last = Poursartip | first = Babak | year = 2015 | department = UT Austin | access-date = 2023-02-24 | archive-date = 2017-01-09 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20170109184014/https://sites.google.com/a/utexas.edu/babakpoursartip/research | url-status = dead }}</ref>
