Which types of seismic waves produce the most damage during the earthquake?
Love and Rayleigh waves which are collectively known as surface waves cause the most damage during earthquakes.
What would happen if water waves were Compressional?
They would likely have much less of an impact than real ocean waves do. As it is, the only compressional waves that can move through water are sound waves, as water is, of the most part, incompressible, as are most liquids and solids.
What are the seismic waves of the Earth's crust?
Rock under stress breaks at the focus, releasing energy and vibrations called seismic waves, which travel away from the focus, through Earth's interior, and across the surface. The three types of seismic waves are: Primary waves: The first to arrive at seismographs Secondary waves: The second to arrive at seismographs Surface waves: The last and most severe to arrive at seismographs
Which wave cause the most movement of the rocks during an earthquake?
S waves
Is a hot spot under the ocean floor is most likely to cause an earthquake?
no a volcano
