Why could a place nearer the epicenter experience more violent shaking the earth that a place farther away from it?

This is the point on the earth's surface directly above the hypocentre of the earthquake. As such the seismic waves have traveled a minimum distance and so there has been a minimum dissipation of energy. This means they have retained the majority of their energy and so are able to cause the most damage.

Does the most violent shaking occur at the epicenter?
Yes
During an earthquake the most violent shaking occurs at what location?
The epicenter
Why would a place nearer the epicenter of an earthquake experience the most violent movements?
Because that is where the energy of the earthquake is released. As the energy travels farther away from the epicenter, it is dissipated as mechanical force.
What would it be like to experience an earthquake?
Violent shaking for a few second or a minute or a hour
How can energy released at an earthquake's focus deep inside Earth can cause damage on the surface many kilometers from the epicenter?
The energy of the seismic waves that reach the surface is greatest at the epicenter. The most violent shaking during an earthquake however may occur kilometers away from the epicenter. The types of rock and soil around the epicenter determine where and how much the ground shakes.
Violent shaking of the head what is it called?
