Body waves travel through the interior of the Earth. Surface waves travel across the surface. Surface waves decay more slowly with distance than body waves which travel in three dimensions. Particle motion of surface waves is larger than that of body waves, so surface waves tend to cause more damage.

fomenos
<span>2700 Joules The important value here is how high the escalator moved you. The actual length doesn't matter. All it affects is how fast the work is performed upon you. So the escalator lifted 64 kg against gravity for 4.3m. So: 4.3 m * 9.8 m/s^2 * 64 kg = 2696.96 kg*m^2/s^2 = 2696.96 Joules Rounding to 2 significant figures gives 2700 Joules</span>
