What kind of waves cause the most damage to the built environment during an earthquake?
secondary
What do secondary waves do?
brings waves to the surface to create a earthquake
Do surface waves or secondary waves cause the most damage in an earthquake?
Surface waves typically cause the most damage in an earthquake. These waves travel along the Earth's surface and have longer periods, resulting in strong shaking that can cause buildings and other structures to collapse. Secondary waves, on the other hand, are faster but typically cause less damage compared to surface waves.
What types of waves are in an earthquake?
P waves (primary waves) and S waves (secondary waves).
What are earthquake waves?
Earthquake waves are vibrations that travel through the Earth's crust when an earthquake occurs. There are three main types of earthquake waves: primary (P) waves, secondary (S) waves, and surface waves. These waves can cause the ground to shake and can be detected by seismographs.
What are known as s waves?
S waves, or Secondary waves, are earthquake waves during an earthquake. They crash after P waves ( Primary waves) and are less stronger than surface waves
After an earthquake which type of seismic wave arrives second at a seismometer?
The secondary or S waves arrive second at a seismometer after an earthquake. These waves move slower than the primary or P waves and typically cause more damage due to their side-to-side shaking motion.
What does secondary waves and primary waves tell geologist?
how far away you are from the focus of an earthquake
What are the different types of earthquakes waves?
The three types of earthquake waves are primary waves, surface waves, and secondary waves.
Waves from an earthquake are know as these?
P or primary wave, S or secondary waves, L as in something waves
Can a surface wave go through a earthquake and a seismograph?
a surface wave is a earthquake it comes last. It goes Primary waves, Secondary waves, and Surface waves.
What is the most powerful waves from an earthquake?
Love waves are the most strongest type of Earthquakes.
