The single greatest cause of gearbox damage typically stems from lack of proper lubrication. Insufficient lubrication can lead to increased friction, heat, and wear on the gearbox components, ultimately resulting in failure. Regular maintenance and timely replacement of lubricants are essential to prevent gearbox damage.
Ozone depleting substances cause damage to the ozone layer. CFC's are greatest of them.
High winds can cause the most direct damage, especially on non-reinforced structures. However, floods from heavy rains or tidal surge have the greatest potential for fatalities and general damage.
Hurricanes cause the most damage when they make landfall, as they bring strong winds, heavy rainfall, storm surges, and flooding. The extent of damage also depends on factors like the hurricane's intensity, speed, and size, as well as the vulnerability of the affected area.
A hurricane's storm surge causes devastating flooding. That typically constitutes the greatest damage from the storm. If the storm makes landfall in a non-populated area, the storm surge damage may be negligible compared to the spawned tornados and straight-line winds causing disruption of utilities even at at a distance from the landfall.
The amount of damage caused by an earthquake fault does not depend on the type of fault (strike-slip, reverse, normal). The severity of damage is mainly influenced by factors such as the magnitude of the earthquake, the depth of the focus, the distance from populated areas, and the building codes in place.
the greatest damage is cause by fires that get started by it all (c)
Tracoma, a serious eye infection and the greatest single cause of blindness by an infectious disease.

Tire wear is the most common "damage". The most common cause is use, but the greatest cause of tire wear is an improperly aligned vehicle. This is known as excessive tire wear. Excessive tire wear is wear that is in excess of what would be expected for the actual miles of use. Another cause of excessive tire wear (even on a properly aligned vehicle) is improper tire inflation. Over inflated tires cause the tire to wear in the center of the tread and under inflated tires will wear the outer portion of the tread. To focus more on damage as a single incident verses wear as an ongoing process. Severe impacts such as hitting a curb or a large pothole would top the list. The lower a tires aspect ratio the greater the potential for damage from this type of impact. The question needs clarification.
Usually you will get greatest damage:* If the earthquake release a large amount of energy, and * If the earthquake gets close to inhabited areas.
