Loose, unconsolidated ground, such as sandy or poorly compacted soil, tends to cause the most destruction during events like earthquakes or landslides. This type of ground can amplify seismic waves, leading to greater structural damage. Additionally, saturated soils can lose their stability, resulting in landslides that can devastate infrastructure and landscapes. Solid bedrock, in contrast, provides more stability and typically experiences less destructive impact during such events.

What type of precipitation typically causes the most damage when it hits to the ground?

Hail would cause the most damage because it has a very powerful heavy mass. They can break tree branches and cause problems with power lines if they hit them.

Which types of seismic wave produces the most severe ground movement?

Rayleigh waves (which are a type of surface wave) produce the largest amplitude and so most severe ground movements during earthquakes.Surface waves produce the most severe ground movements. They produce movements similar to waves in the water, where the water's particles move in a pattern that is almost circular. Surface waves can make the ground roll like ocean waves or shake buildings from side to side. They move more slowly then P waves or S waves.
