High Blood Pressure. By lowering blood pressure, blood pressure medications (like clonidine) are thought to decrease the risks that occur with long-term high blood pressure (see Effects of High Blood Pressure). Clonidine does not, however, cure high blood pressure. It can be used alone or in combination with other blood pressure medications.
Add your answer. Do s-waves move side to side and do p-waves move up and down? In one book it says p-waves move up and down and another it says p-waves move side to side. And also s-waves, one book says they move up and down and another side to side! so what is it? and which causes the most damage?
Body waves. Body waves are of two types: compressional or primary (P) waves and shear or secondary (S) waves. P- and S- waves are called body waves because they can travel through the interior of a body such as the Earth's inner layers, from the focus of an earthquake to distant points on the surface. The Earthâs molten core can only be travelled through by compressional waves. P-waves travel fastest, at speeds between 4â8 km/sec (14,000â28,000 km/h) in the Earth's crust. S-waves travel more slowly, usually at 2.5â4 km/sec (9000â14,000 km/h).
