Question

2 Holts

Answer 1

A. They are the most destructive earthquake waves.

D. They can move in a rolling pattern through rock, like an ocean  wave.

Explanation:

Surface waves are seismic waves that cause the most destruction during an earthquake.

Rayleigh waves are known to cause rolling pattern of rocks just like an ocean waves.

• Seismic waves are elastic waves that notably transmits energy.
• They usually accompany earthquakes.
• There are two broad categories of these waves.
• Surface and body waves.
• Seismic surface waves are low frequency and long wavelength waves.
• They travel very close to the surface.
• They are made up of Love and Rayleigh waves.
• Love waves travels laterally in a horizontal fashion.
• Rayleigh waves rolls like ocean waves in the ground.
• The bulk of the destruction caused during an earthquakes is due to these waves.
• They are the last waves to arrive a seismic station
