Love waves are the most strongest type of Earthquakes.
Tidal waves originate deep within the ocean and end once they reach the coast. They are typically caused by large earthquakes which send shock waves outward from the epicenter.
The waves that radiate out from an earthquake's epicenter and move side to side are called secondary waves, or S-waves. These waves are a type of seismic wave that travels through the Earth and are known for their shear motion, which causes the ground to shake laterally. S-waves can only travel through solid materials and are slower than primary waves (P-waves), which are compressional.
No.

Is it the epicenter
The epicenter is where the waves first hit the surface, the 'focus' is the point where the waves come from initially.
I got it from my science book its geologist use seismic waves to locate the earthquakes epicenter (that's what the circle center is epicenter)
The strongest point in an earthquake is the epicenter.

P waves, also called primary waves, are the first waves to be registered on a seismograph. The S waves, or secondary waves, are the second and slower wave to register on the seismograph. When locating an earthquakes epicenter seismologists take the first reading of the P wave, and then take the reading from the S wave. At the station of where the earthquake was recorded, seismologists draw a large circle from where the earthquakes epicenter could be. TO exactly located the earthquakes epicenter there needs to be at least 3 dfferent staions where the earthquake hit to determine its epicenter using the S and P time interval.
Earthquakes are stronger at the epicenter because that is where the earthquake originates and where the release of energy is most intense. As seismic waves propagate outwards from the epicenter, they decrease in intensity and strength. At the edge of the earthquake, the seismic waves are weaker compared to those at the epicenter.

you have to find the s and p to find and then you have the awnser

It certainly is. The point on the surface where the earthquake starts is the epicenter, located directly above the earthquake's focus point. The land nearest to the epicenter takes the most impact as the primary and secondary waves move outward and gradually weaken. Assuming that all buildings are the same, the buildings closest to the epicenter will always take the most damage.
