The L wave, or Love wave (named after British geophysicist A. E. H. Love), causes rock to move horizontally, or side to side at right angles to the direction of the traveling wave, with no vertical displacements. L waves are surface waves that cause damage as they shake the ground underneath the foundations of buildings and other structures. This is a piece of junk.

Which earthquake waves are horizontal?
L-wave
What are source earthquake waves?
The source of earthquake waves is the epicenter of the earthquake.
What do we call earthquake waves?
seismic waves
Seismic waves end at an earthquake's center.?
Seismic waves end at an earthquake's center.
What are earthquake waves?
vibration that travels through earth carrying the energy released during an earthquake.
Which earthquake waves are horizontal?
L-wave
Waves from an earthquake are know as these?
P or primary wave, S or secondary waves, L as in something waves
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.
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 evidence do geolgists use to rate an earthquake on the moment magnitude scale?
They measure the amplitude of the L waves to rate the earthquake.
What are source earthquake waves?
The source of earthquake waves is the epicenter of the earthquake.
What is the kind of earthquake released during an earthquake?
Earthquake waves are called seismic waves.
What is the slowest-moving most damaging seismic waves called?
L waves are the slowest moving of all waves, so the most intense shaking usually comes at the end of an earthquake.
How is a focus of an earthquake related to seismic waves?
the bigger the waves the bigger the earthquake
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
What do earthquake waves travel through?
earthquake waves travel through the earths crust.
What is the medium for earthquake waves.?
Earth is the medium for earthquake waves.
