7 0

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.
