Surface waves (e.g. Rayleigh waves, Love waves) that produce vertical motion of the ground surface produce the most damage during an earthquake.
Love and Rayleigh waves which are collectively known as surface waves cause the most damage during earthquakes.
The L- Wave or the Love and Rayleigh waves (collectively known as surface waves) cause most of the damage during an earthquake.
Seismic waves move outward from the source of an earthquake. These waves carry the energy released during the earthquake and can cause shaking and damage as they propagate through the Earth's crust.

Earthquake waves are called seismic waves.
Seismic Waves
Surface waves generally cause the most damage during an earthquake as they travel along the Earth's surface and can produce strong shaking. In contrast, P-waves (primary waves) cause the least damage as they are the fastest seismic waves and are typically not as destructive as the slower-moving surface waves.
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.
Yes, energy is released in the Earth's crust during an earthquake. This energy originates from the buildup of stress along fault lines, where tectonic plates interact. When the stress exceeds the strength of the rocks, it results in a sudden release of energy, causing seismic waves that produce the shaking felt during an earthquake. This release of energy can also lead to deformation of the crust and damage to structures.
The energy radiated in all directions from its source after an earthquake is called seismic waves. These waves include primary waves (P-waves), secondary waves (S-waves), and surface waves, which propagate through the Earth and carry the energy released during the earthquake. Seismic waves are responsible for the shaking and damage experienced during and after an earthquake.
