So, not a totally scientific round-up, but the results do seem to be pretty accurate based on our own not-so-scientific assessments.
Surface waves (e.g. Rayleigh waves, Love waves) that produce vertical motion of the ground surface produce the most damage during an earthquake.
As the wave passes by a seismic station, that piece of ground vibrates and this vibration is recorded. Earthquakes produce two main types of waves-the P-wave (a compressional wave), and the S-wave (a shear wave).The S-wave is slower but larger than the P-wave and does most of the damage.s the wave passes by a seismic station, that piece of ground vibrates and this vibration is recorded.
