question 12

overall, which seismic waves are the most destructive?
○ p waves
○ s waves
○ compression waves
○ surface waves

Explanation:

Seismic waves include body waves (P, S) and surface waves. P waves (compression waves) are fastest but least destructive. S waves are slower but more damaging than P waves. Surface waves travel along Earth’s surface, have larger amplitudes, and cause the most ground movement, making them the most destructive.

Answer:

surface waves
