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?
S waves- vibrate from side to side as well as up and down. They shake the ground back and forth and when they reach the surface they shake structures violently. Only move through solids. Surface waves- when S and P waves reach the surface they become surface waves. Surface waves move slower than P and S waves but they can produce severe ground movements. Some surface waves make the ground roll like ocean waves. Other surface wave sake buildings from side to side.
