Earthquakes are stronger at the epicenter because that is where the earthquake originates and where the release of energy is most intense. As seismic waves propagate outwards from the epicenter, they decrease in intensity and strength. At the edge of the earthquake, the seismic waves are weaker compared to those at the epicenter.
Damage is typically more severe near the epicenter of an earthquake as the energy released decreases with distance from the epicenter. Buildings and infrastructure near the epicenter are more likely to experience structural damage due to the higher intensity of the shaking.
