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.
What is the deadliest wave during an earthquake called?
it is called a tsunami
What is a sentence for secondary wave?
The secondary wave of the earthquake cause little damage, only a few buildings fell.
Which seismic waves cause most of 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.
Is The point directly above the focus of an earthquake is called the S wave?
No, the point directly above the focus of an earthquake is called the epicenter. The S wave is one of the types of seismic waves that are generated during an earthquake and move slower than the P wave.
Type of wave often called an L wave?
An L wave is a type of surface wave that moves in a horizontal, rolling motion during an earthquake. It is slower than other seismic waves but can cause significant damage due to its side-to-side motion.
The point directly above the focus of an earthquake is called the S wave?
This statement is incorrect. The point directly above the focus of an earthquake is called the epicenter, not the S wave. S waves are one type of seismic wave that travel through the Earth's interior during an earthquake.
What is the definition of Pwaves?
A Pwave is the first wave to arrive during an earthquake, P waves compress and then expand. They can damage buildings.
Which earthquake waves are horizontal?
Surface waves are the earthquake waves that move in a horizontal direction along the ground. They are responsible for the most damage during an earthquake due to their side-to-side shaking motion.
What is a long wave caused by an underwater earthquake or other disturbance called?
A tidal wave is caused by an earthquake.
What is the smaller wave after an earthquake called?
Aftershock!
What is the first shock wave of an earthquake?
The first shock wave of an earthquake is known as the P-wave or primary wave. It is the fastest seismic wave and can travel through both solid and liquid materials. P-waves are responsible for the initial jolt felt during an earthquake.
