I don't know that Pacinian corpuscles function "expressly" to detect earthquakes. A little googling on the matter is inconclusive. Thus, I am rewriting this bit. Gwimpey 05:35, Feb 5, 2005 (UTC) Well, I went bananas and wrote a much longer article. Whee! Gwimpey 06:21, Feb 5, 2005 (UTC)
Strictly speaking Rayleigh wave only exists on the boundary between an elastic half space and a vacuum, and is non-dispersive. If the other half space is a fluid, the interface wave on the solid side is called a leaky Rayleigh wave, and it leaks energy into the fluid, and will attenuate in the propagation path. Time of flight
What does this mean? "The depth of significant displacement in the solid is approximately equal to the acoustic wavelength." Dr eng x ( talk) 05:00, 3 September 2010 (UTC)
