What are the least destructive seismic waves?
Well there not called earthquake waves. They are called "seismic waves." There are 3 types of them P- and S-waves. Also Surface waves, those are the most detructive ones. The _waves are the least destructive ones. They are the ones you feel right before a earthquake. I'm 11 just so u peoples know...................i sounded like a teacher huh....peace peoples!!!!! :)
Which seismic travel most rapidly?
P Waves
How can you use 'seismic waves' in a sentence?
Seismic waves occur when there is an earthquake.
The last seismic waves to arrive are?
The last seismic waves to arrive are surface waves.
Which type of seismic waves arrives at distant points before any other seismic waves?
Primary waves are seismic waves and the arrive first after an earthquake occurs.
The most destructive seismic wave are .?
The Surface waves (of which there are two - the Love and Rayleigh waves) are the most destructive seismic waves as they have the largest amplitude.Surface waves cause the most damage as they have the largest amplitude of all the seismic waves.S Wave.yhuk
Is seismic waves interference constructive or destructive?
destructive most of the time
Which seismic waves are the most destructive overall?
The Surface waves (of which there are two - the Love and Rayleigh waves) are the most destructive seismic waves as they have the largest amplitude.Surface waves cause the most damage as they have the largest amplitude of all the seismic waves.S Wave.yhuk
Which earthquake waves are most destructive to buildings?
technically any seismic wave can destroy a building, but the one most likely to do it are the surface waves
What type of seismic wave carries the most energy?
Secondary seismic waves travel slower than primary waves but they are much more destructive. Thus it carries more energy.

What plate boundary causes seismic waves?
Destructive plate boundary.
Which type of earthquakes waves move the slowest?
The surface waves (composed in turn of the Rayleigh and Love waves) are the slowest seismic waves.
What types of waves carries the most energy?
Secondary seismic waves travel slower than primary waves but they are much more destructive. Thus it carries more energy.
Answers for the tests?
Which of the following is correct with respect to seismic waves? (1 point)The fastest waves are S-waves, followed by P-waves, and then surface waves.Both primary and secondary waves are seismic waves, but surface waves are not seismic waves.Primary waves can travel through solids and liquids. Secondary waves can ony travel through solids.Primary waves are the most destructive because of their circular and rolling motion on Earth's surface.
Which seismic waves cause the least damage?
The Love and Rayleigh waves (collectively known as surface waves) are the slowest moving but most damaging of the seismic waves.
Seismic sea waves becomes more dangerous as they get closer to shore and can be very destructive?
Its is called a Tsunami.
