Love and Rayleigh waves which are collectively known as surface waves cause the most damage during earthquakes.
What else can I help you with?
A community that is likely to incur a great deal of damage during an earthquake is reffered to as having a high seismic?
Risk
How is energy released during earthquakes travels in seismic waves?
Seismic waves are the forms of energy produced by an earthquake.
Are focus waves vibrations that are released during an earthquake?
No, It's Seismic Waves.
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's the definition of earthquake damage?
Earthquake damage is the damage to property and life from the ground vibrations during an earthquake. The Richter scale is one way to measure the scale of earthquake damage. For example, a magnitude of 5 is strong enough to damage weak buildings.
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 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 moves outward from the source of an earthquake?
Seismic waves move outward from the source of an earthquake. These waves carry the energy released during the earthquake and can cause shaking and damage as they propagate through the Earth's crust.
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.

What is the kind of earthquake released during an earthquake?
Earthquake waves are called seismic waves.
What vibrations are released during an earthquake?
Seismic Waves
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.
Identify which seismic waves cause most of the damage during an earthquake?
Seismic waves are produced by earthquakes, rather than the cause of them! The most damaging seismic waves are the surface waves of which there are two types. Love waves and Rayleigh waves. For more information, please see the related links and question.
Do seismic waves Cary the energy during an earthquake?
yes
What do earthquake shock absorbers do?
Earthquake shock absorbers do exactly what they say on the tin, they absorb some of the energy generated by an earthquake, in order to prevent structural damage. Most tall building in San Francisco are built on the shock absorbers, so that they can still stand after an earthquake
What is a kind of wave given off during an earthquake?
seismic waves
