Question
the most destructive waves produced by an earthquake are: 2 points p - waves s - waves surface waves love waves tectonic plates interact at areas that are called 2 points reversals plate boundaries regions subductions
Brief Explanations
- For the first question: Surface waves are the most destructive. P - waves are compressional waves and are the fastest but less destructive. S - waves are shear waves and are slower than P - waves. Love waves are a type of surface wave, but the general category of surface waves (which include Love and Rayleigh waves) is more destructive as they have larger amplitudes and cause more ground - shaking.
- For the second question: Tectonic plates interact at plate boundaries. Plate boundaries are the regions where two or more tectonic plates meet. Reversals refer to magnetic field reversals. Regions is a very general term. Subductions occur at certain types of plate boundaries (convergent boundaries where one plate goes under another), but the general term for where plates interact is plate boundaries.
