The shorter electromagnetic wavelengths are the more harmful. Shortwave ultraviolet is more harmful than long wave ultraviolet light. With even shorter wavelengths are gamma rays and x-rays which can cause genetic mutations and cell damage leading to death.
s waves are slower and more damaging
The surface waves
L Waves (Love Waves)
L waves are the slowest moving of all waves, so the most intense shaking usually comes at the end of an earthquake.

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.
The Love and Rayleigh waves (collectively known as surface waves) are the slowest moving but most damaging of the seismic waves.
