Party Whips in Congress are groups that assist the floor leaders of the party they belong to, that make sure that their floor leaders (or legislators) attend voting sessions and that impose discipline and direction to them in order to secure enough votes on measures that are congruent with the party's platform. This way, party whips guarantee that legislators do not vote according to their ideologies, but according to the party's ideology.

Therefore, Party Whips influence legislation by mobilizing votes within their parties on any legislation and by ensuring that legislators vote according to the party's desired measures.

They wave that is the first one to be recorded in the seismograph is called the Compressional primary wave (or the P wave). Secondary wave is recorded last on seismography because it has slower travel speed in rock compared to the compressional primary wave.

Even though it's slower, Secondary wave tend to have larger amplitude and shaky motions. This what caused the Secondary damage to create more damage in an earthquake compared to the P wave.
