What is a sentence for secondary wave?
The secondary wave of the earthquake cause little damage, only a few buildings fell.
What do P waves do to buildings?
P waves do not cause significant damage to buildings, due to their bigger amplitudes.
When a butterfly flaps its wings in America can it cause a tidal wave in japan?
Yes, it can cause severe damage to any country.
What is a p wave?
A p wave is the primary or compression wave in a seismic wave. it's wavy
Is surface wave faster then a p wave?
no a p wave is faster than s wave
Which wave does most damage p wave or s wave?
A p wave because it can move so fast with more force. P waves cause little damage, they are compressional waves. They are at a higher frequency and a lower amplitude than surface waves which are shear waves. S-waves cause the most damage because they are slow moving and have an amplitude much greater than P-waves.
What cause greatest damage in a explosion?
blast wave
What is the p wave shadow zone and what cause it?
idfk
Does an elastic wave cause the most damage?
As a mather of fact yes it does
Which seismic wave cause most of the damage during an earthquake?
The L- Wave or the Love and Rayleigh waves (collectively known as surface waves) cause most of the damage during an earthquake.
Do p or s waves cause more damage?
S waves cause more damage because they are slower.
What is a primary wave or p-wave?
Cause rock particles to vibrate in same direction that waves travel
What is a sentence for secondary wave?
The secondary wave of the earthquake cause little damage, only a few buildings fell.
What type of seismic waves cause the most damage?
The surface waves (of which their are two types, Rayleigh and Love waves) cause the most damage during an earthquake.
Which is faster an s-wave or a p-wave?
P-Wave
What kind of damage does s wave occur?
The seismic waves that cause the majority of damage in earthquakes are the surface waves of which there are two types.
What do P waves do to buildings?
P waves do not cause significant damage to buildings, due to their bigger amplitudes.
