What else can I help you with?
The waves that arrive after primary waves they move the ground back and forth?
These waves are called secondary waves, or S-waves. They travel at slower speeds than primary waves and move the ground side-to-side, causing shaking and structural damage to buildings. S-waves are more destructive than P-waves and are usually felt after the initial P-wave motion during an earthquake.
What are the subtypes of secondary waves?
The subtypes of secondary waves (S-waves) are Love waves and Rayleigh waves. Love waves cause horizontal movement, while Rayleigh waves cause both horizontal and vertical movement. Both types of waves are surface waves that move along the Earth's crust.
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".
Which earthquake waves are most destructive to buildings?
Surface waves, including Rayleigh waves and Love waves, are the most destructive earthquake waves for buildings. They travel along the Earth's surface and cause the most shaking and damage to structures.
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.
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 is the abbreviation for secondary waves?
The abbreviation for secondary waves is S-waves.
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
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?
Sound waves can be both constructive and destructive. Constructive interference occurs when sound waves combine to increase amplitude, resulting in a louder sound. Destructive interference occurs when sound waves combine to cancel each other out, resulting in a softer sound.
Exept where can secondary waves travel?
secondary waves cannot travel through liquids
What waves are there for earthquakes?
Primary waves, Secondary waves, and Seismic waves
What is an abbreviation often used for secondary waves?
The abbreviation often used for secondary waves is S-waves.
What are the waves that arrive after primary waves in the Earth?
Secondary waves.
What are the subtypes of secondary waves?
The subtypes of secondary waves (S-waves) are Love waves and Rayleigh waves. Love waves cause horizontal movement, while Rayleigh waves cause both horizontal and vertical movement. Both types of waves are surface waves that move along the Earth's crust.
