Seismic waves from earthquakes spread outward in all directions, with surface waves causing the most damage due to their slow speed and ground movement.
Seismic waves are the energy released by earthquakes, traveling outward in all directions from the focus. While body waves (P and S waves) pass through the Earth's interior, surface waves travel along the ground's surface. Surface waves are the slowest and most damaging, causing up-and-down and sideways movements.
