Which seismic waves cause the least damage?

Surface waves generally cause the most damage during an earthquake as they travel along the Earth's surface and can produce strong shaking. In contrast, P-waves (primary waves) cause the least damage as they are the fastest seismic waves and are typically not as destructive as the slower-moving surface waves.

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.


How do seismic waves affect us?

Seismic waves affect us because they are what causes the motion from an earthquake that destroy buildings and such. The three types of seismic waves are surface waves primary waves also called P-waves and secondary waves also called S-waves.

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.
