What plate boundary causes seismic waves?
Destructive plate boundary.
Which type of earthquakes waves move the slowest?
The surface waves (composed in turn of the Rayleigh and Love waves) are the slowest seismic waves.
Is an earthquakes faster than tornadoes?
The seismic waves of an earthquake travel faster than the winds of a tornado. But this is not what makes earthquakes destructive.
What are seismic waves also called?
Seismic sea waves are also called a tsunami.
What does seismic mean?
(not seismic, seismic wave)Seismic waves are waves of energy that travel through the earth.
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
Is seismic waves interference constructive or destructive?
destructive most of the time
Which seismic waves are the most destructive overall?
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
Which earthquake waves are most destructive to buildings?
technically any seismic wave can destroy a building, but the one most likely to do it are the surface waves
What plate boundary causes seismic waves?
Destructive plate boundary.
What are the least destructive seismic waves?
Well there not called earthquake waves. They are called "seismic waves." There are 3 types of them P- and S-waves. Also Surface waves, those are the most detructive ones. The _waves are the least destructive ones. They are the ones you feel right before a earthquake. I'm 11 just so u peoples know...................i sounded like a teacher huh....peace peoples!!!!! :)
What type of seismic wave carries the most energy?
Secondary seismic waves travel slower than primary waves but they are much more destructive. Thus it carries more energy.
Seismic sea waves becomes more dangerous as they get closer to shore and can be very destructive?
Its is called a Tsunami.
Answers for the tests?
Which of the following is correct with respect to seismic waves? (1 point)The fastest waves are S-waves, followed by P-waves, and then surface waves.Both primary and secondary waves are seismic waves, but surface waves are not seismic waves.Primary waves can travel through solids and liquids. Secondary waves can ony travel through solids.Primary waves are the most destructive because of their circular and rolling motion on Earth's surface.
Which type of earthquakes waves move the slowest?
The surface waves (composed in turn of the Rayleigh and Love waves) are the slowest seismic waves.
What types of waves carries the most energy?
Secondary seismic waves travel slower than primary waves but they are much more destructive. Thus it carries more energy.
Is seismic waves and earthquake waves the same?
Seismic waves are any waves that travel through the Earth. As such all earthquake waves are seismic waves, however not all seismic waves are caused by earthquakes.
