Waves from the ocean which come up with force or depth can cause damage to property. Compressional waves or tsunami waves are an example of these seismic waves.

Do p or s waves cause more damage?
S waves cause more damage because they are slower.
Waves are the slowest moving waves and cause the most damage?
Seismic waves
Do surface waves or secondary waves cause the most damage in an earthquake?
Surface waves cause the most damage because they have the highest amplitude of all the types of seismic wave.
Waves that can make the ground roll like ocean waves they usually cause the most damage during an earthquake?
Waves that can make the ground roll like ocesn waves; they usually cause the most damage during the earthquake
Which seismic waves cause the least damage?
The Love and Rayleigh waves (collectively known as surface waves) are the slowest moving but most damaging of the seismic waves.
Do p or s waves cause more damage?

Seismic waves
Do surface waves or secondary waves cause the most damage in an earthquake?
Surface waves cause the most damage because they have the highest amplitude of all the types of seismic wave.
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 kind of waves are responsible for all the damage an earthquake cause?
seismic waves
Waves that can make the ground roll like ocean waves they usually cause the most damage during an earthquake?
Waves that can make the ground roll like ocesn waves; they usually cause the most damage during the 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 type of seismic waves causes the worst damage?
There are P waves, S waves, and Surface waves [coming in that order]. The P waves are that half second jolt, the S waves are the 2-10 second rumbles, and the Surface waves go crazy and cause the most damage.
What can cause a earthpuake?
A damage cause to human life and property
Which seismic waves cause the least damage?
The Love and Rayleigh waves (collectively known as surface waves) are the slowest moving but most damaging of the seismic waves.
What type of seismic waves cause the most damage?
The surface waves (of which their are two types, Rayleigh and Love waves) cause the most damage during an earthquake.
What kind of damage does s wave occur?
The seismic waves that cause the majority of damage in earthquakes are the surface waves of which there are two types.
