What is the type of earthquake that does damage to roads and buildings?
The type of earthquake that causes damage to roads and buildings is typically a strong or major earthquake. These earthquakes have higher magnitudes and release more energy, leading to more intense shaking that can result in structural damage to infrastructure like roads and buildings.
Is it that the deeper the earthquake the stronger it will be?
Not necessarily. The depth of an earthquake can influence its felt intensity on the earth's surface, but factors like the earthquake's magnitude and proximity to populated areas also play a significant role in determining its strength. Shallower earthquakes tend to cause more damage due to their proximity to the surface.
Do after shocks of an earthquake happen within a week?
It depends! Depending upon the built-in energy at the epicenter before and after the earthquake (main shock), and/or the energy (especially stored at some weaker places) generated after the earthquake, aftershocks of an earthquake range in their time.For more details, refer: http://www.answers.com/library/Wikipedia-cid-1349 Aftershock

Can an earthquake be felt on an elevator?
Yes, an earthquake can be felt on an elevator. Elevators are designed to withstand minor movements during an earthquake, but occupants may feel the shaking and sway of the elevator as the building moves. It is recommended to stay inside the elevator during an earthquake and wait for it to come to a stop.

Would a strong earthquake be more likely to occur along a fault where few earthquakes have happened recently or along a fault where several minor earthquakes have happened recently explain?
it is more likely to have a strong earthquake where few recent earthquakes have happened
Where would earthquake damage be more - near the epicenter or away from the epicenter?
All other factors being equal, the seismic waves will be felt most strongly at or near to the epicentre of the earthquake.
Where is shaking be greater if there is an earthquake?
its where it started from so there is going to be more pressure there
