Answer:
Surface waves have a longer duration and higher amplitude than body waves.
Explanation:
The stark difference between an earthquake body and surface waves is such that they have longer duration and a higher amplitude compared to body waves.
There are two categories of seismic waves that usually accompanies an earthquake:
- body waves are faster and perpetuate in the subsurface. They reach the seismic station first and are discovered faster.
- surface waves arrives later and they cause the damage produced by most earthquake waves. They perpetuate on the surface.
- surface waves are the love and Rayleigh waves
- body waves are the primary and secondary waves.
