What causes more damage shallow or deep focus earthquakes?

Shallow-focus earthquakes cause more damage than deep-focus earthquakes. This is because shallow-focus earthquakes originate closer to the Earth's surface, which allows the energy to be more concentrated and lead to stronger shaking and more destruction of structures. Deep-focus earthquakes, occurring deeper underground, tend to have their energy dissipate before reaching the surface.
