What happens when a plate boundary collides with a new plate boundary?
It creates a violent wave through the earth and when it reaches the surface it causes the ground to shake also known as an earth quake
Which type of wave is a secondary wave?
Any wave has two directions: the up and down direction (primary wave) and the side to side direction (secondary wave).
What is a sentence for secondary wave?
The secondary wave of the earthquake cause little damage, only a few buildings fell.
What electromagnetic wave shows heat loss in buildings?
Infrared radiation
What is the worst seismic wave?
Surface Waves, because they can shake the ground out from under a building.
L waves in an earthquake?
The L wave, or Love wave (named after British geophysicist A. E. H. Love), causes rock to move horizontally, or side to side at right angles to the direction of the traveling wave, with no vertical displacements. L waves are surface waves that cause damage as they shake the ground underneath the foundations of buildings and other structures. This is a piece of junk.
What causes the ground to move?
Release of energy causes the seismic wave which make the ground shake.
Which type of wave causes the ground to shake in a back and forth motion perpendicular to the focus?
S-wave -brony
Which type of wave causes the ground to shake in a motion parallel to the focus moving straight away from the epicenter?
p-wave
What type of wave causes the ground to shake in a motion parallel to the focus moving straight away from epic center?
p-wave
How can earthquakes cause earthquakes and flooding?
earthquakes can shift things around, like landforms, and mess around with the climate. they are very hazardous. landforms: trees around, can get on telephone poles- fire flooding: climate and levee breaks, or such- The first wave of an earthquake is a strong up ward moving wave known as the primary wave, or Transverse wave. This first wave causes little destruction but can be the most forceful The second, longer wave has a side to side movement, this wave is known as a Longitudinal wave. This wave causes most of the destruction The first wave basically really mucks up the ground, it causes stress fractures in the crust of our earth. The second wave then sakes the already craked ground until land slides, trees or buildings fall over. When certain things under a house suddenly get ripped up, things start to cetch on fire. Floods happen because the levies and dikes brake during the second wave.

How do you shake off the dryads on twisted thicket?
Wave your mouse over them.
What causes a surface wave?
A surface wave is caused by an earthquake. When the earthquake causes primary, and secondary waves to interact, a surface wave is formed.
How you are able to hear the siren of an ambulance on the other side of a building?
Sound can go through buildings. Sound can also go around corners, just like any wave. According to the Huygens-Fresnel principle, any place where a wave gets will generate a new wave going out in all directions of space.
Which type of wave is a secondary wave?
Any wave has two directions: the up and down direction (primary wave) and the side to side direction (secondary wave).
What seismic wave causes the most damage?
Seismic wave
