All surface waves travel at different speeds they are always slower than the body waves.]]> 2018-02-13 15:24:54 UTC https://padlet.com/dnernberger/ssqqdt29261k/wish/231083094 dnernberger https://padlet.com/dnernberger/ssqqdt29261k/wish/231088436 Primary waves are the fastest traveling waves and can go through solids, liquids, and gases. They are the first waves released from an earthquake.]]> 2018-02-13 15:33:06 UTC https://padlet.com/dnernberger/ssqqdt29261k/wish/231088436 dnernberger https://padlet.com/dnernberger/ssqqdt29261k/wish/231336940 The secondary waves are the waves that are released second. They are the second fastest  traveling seismic waves and can only travel through solids.]]> 2018-02-14 00:32:10 UTC https://padlet.com/dnernberger/ssqqdt29261k/wish/231336940 jrohland1 https://padlet.com/dnernberger/ssqqdt29261k/wish/231342130 The way that seismologists measure the intensity of the earthquakes is by using a Mercalli Intensity scale. Surface waves do the most damage along with body waves. Primary waves cause very little damage during an earthquake. Secondary waves are more dangerous than primary waves because they have a greater amplitude.

It is where the ground ruptures and where the seismic waves are released.]]> 2018-02-14 01:14:10 UTC https://padlet.com/dnernberger/ssqqdt29261k/wish/231342538 jrohland1 https://padlet.com/dnernberger/ssqqdt29261k/wish/231343477 The primary wave is the fastest of all the waves and is first to arrive at a seismic station. Secondary waves are slower than primary waves but they still move very quickly. Both can pass through solids but only primary waves can pass through liquids. The velocity of the primary wave is typically 5-8 km/s.]]> 2018-02-14 01:20:08 UTC https://padlet.com/dnernberger/ssqqdt29261k/wish/231343477 dnernberger https://padlet.com/dnernberger/ssqqdt29261k/wish/231345734 The point on the Earth's surface located directly above the focus of an earthquake. It is the point in the crust where the seismic rupture begins.]]> 2018-02-14 01:34:01 UTC https://padlet.com/dnernberger/ssqqdt29261k/wish/231345734
