Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Surface waves, also known as Love waves and Rayleigh waves, are the slowest seismic waves but they are responsible for shaking the ground up and down, side to side, and in rolling motions. This makes them the most destructive type of earthquake wave, causing the most damage to buildings and infrastructure. P waves and S waves, or body waves, are faster and typically do not cause as much damage.
