Usually you will get greatest damage:* If the earthquake release a large amount of energy, and
* If the earthquake gets close to inhabited areas.
blast wave
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
As a mather of fact yes it does
The L- Wave or the Love and Rayleigh waves (collectively known as surface waves) cause most of the damage during an earthquake.
The Earth itself is.
A seismic wave known as the Love wave typically has the largest amplitude. These are surface waves that travel through the Earth's crust and have a horizontal motion that can cause significant shaking during earthquakes.
Surface waves typically cause more damage than primary or secondary waves during an earthquake. They travel along the earth's surface and are responsible for the shaking that can result in building collapse and other structural damage. Primary and secondary waves, while important for seismologists to study, usually do not cause as much damage as surface waves.
The largest wave is the R
The largest wave in an electrocardiogram is typically the R wave.
The seismic waves that cause the majority of damage in earthquakes are the surface waves of which there are two types.
The secondary wave of the earthquake cause little damage, only a few buildings fell.
no it is not the largest.
