What are the least destructive seismic waves?
Well there not called earthquake waves. They are called "seismic waves." There are 3 types of them P- and S-waves. Also Surface waves, those are the most detructive ones. The _waves are the least destructive ones. They are the ones you feel right before a earthquake. I'm 11 just so u peoples know...................i sounded like a teacher huh....peace peoples!!!!! :)
In what kind of area is an earthquake likely to do the least damage?
An earthquake is likely to do the least damage in areas with solid bedrock, as this type of geological formation transmits seismic waves more efficiently and reduces shaking intensity. Additionally, regions with low population density and well-constructed buildings designed to withstand seismic activity are also less likely to experience significant damage. Rural areas or locations far from active fault lines are generally at a lower risk.
What kind of scale measures earthquakes according to the level of damage?
The Modified Mercalli Intensity (MMI) scale measures earthquakes based on the level of damage and the effects felt by people and structures. The scale ranges from I (least amount of damage) to XII (total destruction).
What is the magnitude of the London earthquake in 1247?
There was no London epicentered earthquake that year. If you are referring to the Welsh earthquake of that year (which was felt in London), it is likely to have been at least 5.5 - 6.0 on the righter scale
How did the 1775 earthquake and tsunami effect lisbon?
The 1775 earthquake in Lisbon caused widespread damage to buildings and infrastructure. The accompanying tsunami exacerbated the destruction, flooding low-lying areas and adding to the overall devastation. The event resulted in significant loss of life and had long-lasting impacts on the city's economy and society.
Cost of damage in Kobe earthquake?
The cost of the repairs for Kobe after the earthquake was at least 160 billion yen.
What type of land development would be least damaged by earthquakes?
there really aren't lands that won't get the least amount of damage during an earthquake. With hills there's damage, and with flat ground there's still damage, it doesn't matter were you are it would still have damage during an earthquake.
What damage was caused by the Izmit earthquake?
several thousand buildings collapsed in the earthquake. Estimates say that at least 20,000 buildings collapsed or were heavily damaged.
Which seismic waves cause the least damage?
Surface waves generally cause the most damage during an earthquake as they travel along the Earth's surface and can produce strong shaking. In contrast, P-waves (primary waves) cause the least damage as they are the fastest seismic waves and are typically not as destructive as the slower-moving surface waves.
What is the difference between the damage of tornado and an earthquake?
Tornado damage is caused by wind and debris, with the first visible damage usually occurring to the roof, windows, and exterior walls. Earthquake damage is caused by shaking and distortion of the ground. Structures destroyed by earthquakes usually collapses where they stand while those destroyed by tornadoes are often at least partially blown away.
Did the people die in the earthquake in kwanto japan?
The Kanto (Kwanto) Japan earthquake (magnitude 7.9) on September 1, 1923, was enormously destructive and was responsible for at least 142,800 deaths. The most severe damage occurred in Yokohama.
How much damage did the San Francisco earthquake cause?
to cheat on a test: you have to look over on the smart kids paper when the eater is not looking. you will get at least a B+ if you did not study Thanks!

How long do people have to escape from an earthquake?
no time ....

Which event do you have the least time to prepare for?
An earthquake.
