Question

The most destructive earthquake waves are ____________ . Fill in the blank.

Answer 1

Answer:

S-wave.

Explanation:

The most dangerous earthquake wave is the seismic waves. These are the waves that have there impulse travelling at the level of earths most nearest layer.

This causes havoc in the earths surface which results in the destruction of properties, land areas, landslides, tsunami, volcanic eruption and worse.

Seismic waves are waves of energy that travel through the Earth's layers, and are a result of earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, magma movement, large landslides and large man-made explosions that give out low-frequency acoustic energy.

Answer 2

The most destructive earthquake waves are called as the S waves, which is one of the seismic waves.

Explanation:

• There are two kinds of seismic waves one is called the P wave and the other one is called the S wave.
• The P wave can able to travel through the solids, liquids and gases.
• Both are very dangerous but the wave out of the two that can be really very dangerous is called the S wave.
• The S wave travel in half the speed of the P wave. So, it cause major destruction, with its strong vibration.
• The S wave only travel through the solids and gases.
