Which earthquake waves are slowest?
surface waves
What is the slowest-moving most damaging seismic waves called?
L waves are the slowest moving of all waves, so the most intense shaking usually comes at the end of an earthquake.
What waves is the slowest and most damaging capable of crumbling buildings of an earthquake?
welcome primary
Why can you feel an earthquake from far away from where it occured?
You can feel it because the waves of the earthquake are very destructive depending on the type of earthquake. The wave you might be feeling is the last wave of the earthquake which is the slowest, but the most powerful. Hope this helped! :)
Which type of earthquakes waves move the slowest?
The surface waves (composed in turn of the Rayleigh and Love waves) are the slowest seismic waves.
Waves that travel the slowest andare the last to be recorded?
surface waves because they are the last waves and also the slowest.
Why do earthquake waves travel fast in the crust but slowest in the interior of the earth?
Earthquake waves travel fastest in the interior of the Earth, as speed of waves increases as we go inside the Earth. The speed of a wave depends on the properties of the medium it travels in. The wave propagates faster in the denser and heavier core.
What is the first type of wave in an earthquake called?
P waves go first, and are fastest. (Primary Waves). S waves go second, and are next fastest. (Surface Waves). Surface waves go last, and although slowest are also most destructive.
What are source earthquake waves?
The source of earthquake waves is the epicenter of the earthquake.
Compared to P waves and S waves do surface waves move slower or faster?
Surface waves move slower. P waves are the fastest. Surface waves are the slowest. they are slowest but most destructive.
Waves are the slowest moving waves and cause the most damage?
Seismic waves
What is the kind of earthquake released during an earthquake?
Earthquake waves are called seismic waves.
