Which seismic waves cause most of damage during an earthquake?
The L- Wave or the Love and Rayleigh waves (collectively known as surface waves) cause most of the damage during an earthquake.

What can cause damage days or months after an earthquake?
Earthquake aftershocks.the arrival of surface waves
Do surface waves or secondary waves cause the most damage in an earthquake?
Surface waves cause the most damage because they have the highest amplitude of all the types of seismic wave.
What waves cause most damage to the built environment during an earthquake?
Body
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.

secondary
Which types of seismic waves produce the most damage during the earthquake?
Love and Rayleigh waves which are collectively known as surface waves cause the most damage during earthquakes.
What type of seismic waves cause the most damage?
The surface waves (of which their are two types, Rayleigh and Love waves) cause the most damage during an earthquake.
How does an earthquake in one place cause damage in another place far away?
seismic waves :)
How does an area's distance from the epicenter effect the amount of damage an earthquake will do?
The proximity of the epicentre to populated or urban areas will effect the damage caused as the closer the earthquake's epicentre, the more energy will be retained by the earthquake waves and so the greater their capacity to cause damage.
