We wasted many hours staring at broken foundations and corrupted pipelines with our Fluxiss team. Just in case there has been just one lesson that we have learned about the temper tantrums of the Earth, it is that all the waves that we do not feel initially are the waves that would actually cause the building to crash.
When you wonder which seismic wave travels the fastest ? We always explain to them that it was the P-wave. It is the lightning preceding the thunder. However, the question changes to which seismic wave causes the most damage , and the answer is none other than surface waves.
