I think they are P or C Waves
no.....
S waves, Surface waves, or Shear waves cause the MOST damage (and i don't think 'C' waves are real), as they shake things sideways and/or up and down.

Destructive interference
What is the most common type of wave associated with major earthquakes?
swells
What type of wave is light wave?
Electromagnetic. There are other possible answers as well, but this is the most straightforward.

The next type of seismic wave to arrive after the P-wave is the S-wave.

Surface waves

Tsunami

surface waves
What is a gigantic wave that causes destruction called?
tsunami, tidal wave or a water surge.
What is a powerful ocean wave that causes great destruction?
A tsunami
Which type of wave causes the medium to vibrate perpendicular to the direction of the wave?
Transverse Wave.
In what type of wave are certain parts of the wave always at the rest position because of total destruction interference between the waves?
Stationary wave.
What seismic wave causes the most damage?
Seismic wave
Which type of electromagnetic wave causes sunburns?
Ultraviolet radiation does that.
When was First Wave Complete Destruction created?
First Wave Complete Destruction was created in 1981-05.
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.
