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.

You will be asked to give examples of the 3 types of Isostatic Rebound, Sediment Deposition, or Erosion that has impacted the wa
VMariaS [17]
Isostatic rebound occurs when a load is imposed on or removed from the lithosphere. The surface tends to rise or sink as the lithosphere rises or sinks in the asthenosphere. Loads may consist of large lakes, oceans (on continental shelves during eustatic sea level rise), ice, sediment, thrust sheets, and volcanoes.

Deposition is the geological process in which sediments, soil and rocks are added to a landform or land mass. Wind, ice, water, and gravity transport previously weathered surface material, which, at the loss of enough kinetic energy in the fluid, is deposited, building up layers of sediment.
