Which are more destructive body waves or surface waves?
Surface waves.
The last seismic waves to arrive are?
The last seismic waves to arrive are surface waves.
Is a P-wave a body wave?
Yes. In a seismic context, P and S waves are body waves while Love and Rayleigh waves are surface waves.
What are the first seismic waves to arrive at a seismic station?
P-waves are the first to arrive at a seismic station. There are two major types of waves: Body waves and surface waves. P-waves and S-waves come under Body waves while Love and Rayleigh waves come under surface waves. Body waves are much faster than the Surface waves. Waves are detected in the following order: P, S, Love and Rayleigh
Which wave is a body wave?
A body wave is a seismic wave that moves through the interior of the earth, as opposed to surface waves that travel near the earth's surface. P and S waves are body waves. Each type of wave shakes the ground in different ways.
What are the two types of seismic surface waves?
body waves and surface waves
Which are more destructive body waves or surface waves?
Surface waves.
What is the main difference between body waves and surface waves?
Surface waves travel slower than body waves.
How do surface waves differ form body waves?
Body waves: seismic waves that travel through the body of a medium Surface waves: seismic waves that travel along the surface of a medium and have a strong effect near the surface of the medium than it has in the interior
What is the main difference between body wave and surface waves?
Surface waves travel slower than body waves.
What are the two categories of seismic waves?
The two main categories of seismic waves are body waves and surface waves. Body waves can travel through the earth's inner layers, but surface waves can only move along the surface of the Earth.

What are the two categories if seismic waves?
body and surface waves
What are the two catefories of seismic waves?
Body and Surface Waves
What is the term for a water wave that is caused by underwater earthquake?
Body waves Body waves and surface waves are the two types of seismic waves formed during great earthquakes. P waves and S waves are called body waves because they travel through the body of the Earth. Surface waves Love waves and Rayleigh waves travel only on the surface of the Earth and cause the most destruction.
