Type of seismic wave that travels the slowest and causes most of the destruction?
The Surface (S) waves cause the most damage for these cause horizontal movement of the ground. That said, the quality of the ground itself has a major effect. If the ground is on top of old swamp or silt, then it may sell settle unevenly. And, there is in wave work a quantity called Q. This represents the magnitude of the resonance compared with the magnitude of the exciting (applied) force. Solid rock will have a Q close to 1. In Mexico City (built on an old lake bed = swamp) they have soils with Q as high as 15!. The movement of the ground will be magnified by 15 times! Q's of 3 to 5 would be more common. In addition, even for a perfectly designed building, if the ground subsides, the whole building may just lie over quite intact. Niigata in Japan had some famous examples of this.

Why is the air force important?
A country's Air Force provides both air combat support and ground combat support. There is an old war adage that says "He who controls the air controls the war." This adage is very true. Air Force units provide three main things: 1) Visual support for air and ground units (serving as scouts) 2) fire support for air and ground units (serving as protectors) and 3) Transportation for air and ground units and their equipment. Without the air force, supplies would take a lot longer to get to the battle front. **6 years SSgt USAF/F16 Crew Chief.
What does keep an ear close to the ground mean?
Keeping one's ear to the ground means you intend to stay attentive and informed of events. There is some sound basis for this, as sound travels better where matter is denser, thus faster though water than through air and faster still through the ground. Especially for heavy, low-frequency sounds, one can actually detect sounds coming through the ground before detecting them in the air. Elephants actually employ this principle to communicate using very low frequency sound.
