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.
What are the subtypes of secondary waves?
what are the subtypes of secondary waves
How fast do secondary waves travel?
Secondary or S Waves are a form of waves which are produced as a result of shift in tectonic plates during an earthquake. Such waves only travel through solid surfaces and disintegrate upon reaching liquids. They always tend to adapt a back and forth motion as they move along. They are often referred to as "body waves".
Do P waves do the most destruction during and earthquake?
No, the S waves do, they are the most destructive, because they have a bigger ratio of Antinodes and nodes. AKA Destructive interference.
What are three types of waves generated by earthquakes?
Primary Waves, Secondary Waves, and Surface 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.

What causes dead spots in a concert hall?
Destructive interference of the waves due to poor design of the building.
Why are surface waves more destructive to building than p waves or s waves?
they are more destructive because they are on the suface and because they are slower
Which are more destructive body waves or surface waves?
Surface waves.
Why are surface waves more destructive to building s than P waves or S waves are?
they are more destructive because they are on the suface and because they are slower
Can be either constructive or destructive. Sound waves?
The terms "constructive" and "destructive", in relation to waves, refer to interference. There can be interference with any kind of waves.

Is seismic waves interference constructive or destructive?
destructive most of the time
What are waves that arrive after primary waves?
Secondary waves
