away from epicenter
The more energy, the more damage it can cause.
Earthquake damage tends to be most intense at the epicenter, although sometimes an earthquake behaves unexpectedly and the damage is heaviest elsewhere.
A certain area might suffer more damage in earthquakes. It is because that area might be near the epicenter.
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.

Near.
Usually near.
Usually near.
All other factors being equal, the seismic waves will be felt most strongly at or near to the epicentre of the earthquake.
The more energy, the more damage it can cause.
Earthquake damage tends to be most intense at the epicenter, although sometimes an earthquake behaves unexpectedly and the damage is heaviest elsewhere.
The seismograph taken at the epicenter will experience more rapid shaking because it is on the epicenter. The seismograph take further away from the epicenter will experience less violent shaking.

At epicenter.
the biggest 1 will but it depends on the depth of the quakes It also depends on how near the epicenter is to an urban area.
