The seismic waves that travel along earth’s surface and produce the most severe ground movements are called

Surface waves

Explanation:

The seismic surface waves are defined as the waves that propagate through along the surface of the earth.

These seismic S waves are either the Love waves or the Rayleigh waves. The Love waves propagate transversely but the Rayleigh waves propagate both longitudinally and transversely.

These surface waves generally have a wide range of frequencies. These are destructive waves as it shakes the ground at great intensities, having high amplitude,  and thereby causing a lot of damage during an earthquake.

chinese civil war took place over a long period of time between 1927 and 1950. the war was interrupted when japan invaded china in 1936 and by world war ii. the war was fought between the nationalist government of china, also called the kuomintang (kmt), and the communist party of china (cpc).
