The observed motion of spicules is characterized by a diverging circular conical motion in the lower atmosphere and by a motion typically tilted 28 deg from the local vertical above the chromosphere. It is suggested that these characteristic motions can be considered in terms of the dynamic response of the solar atmosphere to finite-amplitude magnetoatmospheric waves propagating in the supergranulation boundary; more precisely, the observed motion can be understood by 'conical propagation' of the magnetoatmospheric waves in the lower layers and by the formation of tilted shocks in the upper layer. The physical considerations leading to this conclusion are discussed, together with a description of conical propagation and shock formation.
