What else can I help you with?
Can you feel seismic waves if you are sitting on the floor during an earthquaKE?
maybe; the more powerful the earthquake, the more likely you are to feel it.
Which types of seismic waves produce the most damage during the earthquake?
Love and Rayleigh waves which are collectively known as surface waves cause the most damage during earthquakes.
Which wave cause the most movement of the rocks during an earthquake?
S waves
What are known as s waves?
S waves, or Secondary waves, are earthquake waves during an earthquake. They crash after P waves ( Primary waves) and are less stronger than surface waves
How does 8.9 rank out of the most powerful earthquakes?
The biggest reported earthquake had a magnitude of 9.5. The earthquake in Japan had a magnitude of 8.9, and that's the 5th largest earthquake reported.
What are the most powerful shock waves from an earthquake called?
your fat mama
Why can you feel an earthquake from far away from where it occured?
You can feel it because the waves of the earthquake are very destructive depending on the type of earthquake. The wave you might be feeling is the last wave of the earthquake which is the slowest, but the most powerful. Hope this helped! :)
Can you feel seismic waves if you are sitting on the floor during an earthquaKE?
maybe; the more powerful the earthquake, the more likely you are to feel it.
What type of waves on the electromagnetic spectrum are the most powerful?
Gamma rays are the most powerful waves on the electromagnetic spectrum.
Which seismic waves cause most of 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.
What types of seismic waves produce the most damage during an earthquake?
Surface waves (e.g. Rayleigh waves, Love waves) that produce vertical motion of the ground surface produce the most damage during an earthquake.
Which happened first in japan earthquake or tsunami?
In the context of a natural disaster event, the earthquake typically occurs before the tsunami. This is because the earthquake generates the seismic waves that trigger the tsunami as a series of powerful ocean waves.
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.
Which earthquake waves are horizontal?
Surface waves are the earthquake waves that move in a horizontal direction along the ground. They are responsible for the most damage during an earthquake due to their side-to-side shaking motion.
Which term refers to powerful ocean waves caused by an earthquake landslide or volcanic erupton on the sea floor?
Tsunami
Do P waves do the most destruction during and earthquake?
No, P waves are not usually responsible for the most destruction during an earthquake. P waves are fast-moving seismic waves that usually cause less damage compared to the slower and more destructive S waves and surface waves. The shaking and ground displacement caused by these other waves typically result in the most destruction during an earthquake.
What is the kind of earthquake released during an earthquake?
Earthquake waves are called seismic waves.
