High Blood Pressure. By lowering blood pressure, blood pressure medications (like clonidine) are thought to decrease the risks that occur with long-term high blood pressure (see Effects of High Blood Pressure). Clonidine does not, however, cure high blood pressure. It can be used alone or in combination with other blood pressure medications.
Add your answer. Do s-waves move side to side and do p-waves move up and down? In one book it says p-waves move up and down and another it says p-waves move side to side. And also s-waves, one book says they move up and down and another side to side! so what is it? and which causes the most damage?
The upwards and downwards motion of particles in transverse waves and the horizontal motion of particles in longitudinal waves transfer energy through the medium of propagation. Waves transfer energy without transferring mass. An ocean wave washing up against the shore does not carry individual water particles from deep in the ocean to the shore. The water molecules, salt, sand and other particles excited by the wave vibrate perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation, making these transverse waves. They are lifted up as the crest of the wave passes. If there are several consecutive waves, the crest is succeeded by a trough, which displaces the medium particles downwards.
