The shorter electromagnetic wavelengths are the more harmful. Shortwave ultraviolet is more harmful than long wave ultraviolet light. With even shorter wavelengths are gamma rays and x-rays which can cause genetic mutations and cell damage leading to death.

The surface waves


What type of seismic wave is most damaging to structures?

L Waves (Love Waves)


Which r the most damaging and slower p waves or s waves?

S waves are generally more damaging than P waves because they have a greater amplitude and cause more intense shaking. However, P waves travel faster than S waves, which means that people farther from the earthquake's epicenter may feel the P waves before the stronger S waves arrive.


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.


Which waves are the most damaging capable crumbling buildings?

The most damaging seismic waves capable of crumbling buildings are the surface waves, particularly Love waves and Rayleigh waves. These waves travel along the Earth's surface and have larger amplitudes and longer durations compared to other seismic waves, causing significant ground shaking. The intensity of the shaking can lead to structural failures, especially in poorly designed or older buildings.
