What the results of earthquake?
The results of an earthquake in Michigan included damage to homes and property. There have not been any extremely damaging earthquakes in MI recently.
An earthquake will be given one number on the Richter scale but more than one on the mercalli scale why is this?
The Richter scale measures the strength of an earthquake, this is always the same value, no matter where you are. The Mercalli intensity scale measures the effect of the earthquake on people and structures, and the intensity value will differ depending on how far you are from the epicenter. For instance, a 5.5 magnitude earthquake may be damaging (intensity VII) around the epicenter, but 300 miles away it may be barely felt (intensity II).
Identify which seismic waves cause most of the damage during an earthquake?
Seismic waves are produced by earthquakes, rather than the cause of them! The most damaging seismic waves are the surface waves of which there are two types. Love waves and Rayleigh waves. For more information, please see the related links and question.

The most recent damaging earthquake was very shallow - only about 10 km deep, and indeed I think that today they even had one as shallow as 1km. You may look the data up on geonet.org.nz

a magnitude-8.0 earthquake can be classified as a low intensity earthquake because depending on where it occured, is realllyyy depends on how many people felt it and how bad it affected them by damaging things
