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?
Sound waves need a medium (or material) to travel through. These kinds of vibrational waves have another name: longitudinal waves. In fact, there are two main types of waves: transverse and longitudinal. Longitudinal waves are where the vibration moves parallel to the direction the wave is travelling. A Slinky can help us understand this, because a longitudinal wave can be created by pushing a Slinky along its length, sending a pulse across it.
