(Dark humo(u)r...) Would a Mass Shooting alert app involve a "trigger warning"? (/Dark whatever).

β | Surface waves cause nearly all of the damage of an earthquake, not s-waves (shear waves). This should be updated. P-waves, or primary waves, arrive first and are compression waves which can also be used to determine the alignment and type of earthquake, such as a normal or reverse fault. S-waves, or secondary waves, follow the p-waves and are shear waves which do cause more damage than p-waves, but they cause far less damage than surface waves, such as Rayleigh and Love waves. Surface waves arrive last, but cause by far the most damage. Randall | + | Surface waves cause nearly all of the damage of an earthquake, not s-waves (shear waves). This should be updated.
