Answer 7

is that correct @Carniel ?

?

Answer 9

hello?

Answer 10

C. the answer

Answer 11

Love and Rayleigh waves both produce
ground shaking at the Earth’s surface but very
little motion deep in the Earth. Because the
amplitude of surface waves diminishes less
rapidly with distance than the amplitude of P
or S waves, surface waves are often the most
important component of ground shaking far
from the earthquake source, thus can be the most
destructive.
