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.
Which seismic wave travels the slowest?
Surface waves, Secondary waves, Primary waves :) I had this as a science question in school a few weeks ago... hope this helps :) Oh whoops i didnt log in so i did it again.... :) :) :) :) :) :) :)
What are the slowest moving waves?
The slowest moving waves are typically surface waves, such as water waves in the ocean, which can travel at speeds as low as a few centimeters per second. Among seismic waves, the Love and Rayleigh waves are also relatively slow, with velocities that can be significantly lower than compressional (P) waves. In general, the speed of waves depends on the medium through which they travel, with slower waves often found in less dense or more viscous materials.
What is the speed of seismic waves from fastest to slowest?
Seismic waves travel at different speeds depending on their type. Primary waves (P-waves) are the fastest, traveling at speeds of about 5 to 7 km/s in the Earth's crust. Secondary waves (S-waves) follow, moving at approximately 3 to 4 km/s. Surface waves, which travel along the Earth's surface, are the slowest, typically ranging from 2 to 4 km/s.
Waves that travel the slowest andare the last to be recorded?
Surface waves, specifically Love waves and Rayleigh waves, travel more slowly than other types of seismic waves such as P-waves and S-waves. They are the last to be recorded on a seismogram and are responsible for the majority of the shaking and damage during an earthquake due to their longer wavelengths.
What are the slowest earthquake waves?
The surface waves are the slowest waves.
Which earthquake waves are slowest?
surface waves
Which type of earthquakes waves move the slowest?
The surface waves (composed in turn of the Rayleigh and Love waves) are the slowest 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.
Are surface waves the fastest seismic waves?
No, they are in fact the slowest! The fastest seismic waves are P-waves.

Compared to P waves and S waves do surface waves move slower or faster?
Surface waves move slower than P waves and S waves. They travel along the surface of the Earth and are primarily responsible for the damage caused by earthquakes, as they have a larger amplitude and longer period.
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 speed of seismic waves from the fastest to the slowest is it p waves s waves l wave or all three?
The speed of seismic waves from fastest to slowest is P waves (primary waves), S waves (secondary waves), and then surface waves. L waves are a type of surface wave, so they are generally slower than both P and S waves.
Which travels slower p waves or surface waves?
surface waves because p waves and s waves are way faster so here is how it goes from fastest to slowest: is p wave and then s wave and then surface waves
Waves are the slowest moving waves and cause the most damage?
Seismic waves

Surface waves, specifically Love waves and Rayleigh waves, travel more slowly than other types of seismic waves such as P-waves and S-waves.
