Question
- which type of seismic wave produced the largest ground movement?
Brief Explanations
Surface - waves, specifically Love and Rayleigh waves, cause the largest ground - movement during an earthquake. Love waves move the ground from side - to - side and Rayleigh waves cause an elliptical motion of the ground surface. They are slower than body waves but have larger amplitudes.
