* If the earthquake gets close to inhabited areas.

What cause greatest damage in a explosion?
blast wave
What damage does a p wave cause?
distortion of the ground and ripples.
Does an elastic wave cause the most damage?
As a mather of fact yes it does
Which seismic wave cause most of the damage during an earthquake?
The L- Wave or the Love and Rayleigh waves (collectively known as surface waves) cause most of the damage during an earthquake.
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
What is a sentence for secondary wave?
The secondary wave of the earthquake cause little damage, only a few buildings fell.
Which seismic waves are the most destructive overall?

What type of seismic waves cause the most damage?
The surface waves (of which their are two types, Rayleigh and Love waves) cause the most damage during an earthquake.
What is the medium propagation of earhquake waves?
The Earth itself is.
Which wave does most damage p wave or s wave?
A p wave because it can move so fast with more force. P waves cause little damage, they are compressional waves. They are at a higher frequency and a lower amplitude than surface waves which are shear waves. S-waves cause the most damage because they are slow moving and have an amplitude much greater than P-waves.
What kind of damage does s wave occur?
The seismic waves that cause the majority of damage in earthquakes are the surface waves of which there are two types.
When a butterfly flaps its wings in America can it cause a tidal wave in japan?
Yes, it can cause severe damage to any country.
