Answer the following questions based on earthquakes.

Which one of the seismic waves cause maximum destruction on the earth's surface?

Due to the plate movements and other causes in the interior of the earth, rocks experience displacement. Due to this, earth’s lithosphere experiences rigorous pressure. This led to the generation of the seismic waves. There are three different types of seismic waves such as – primary waves, secondary waves and surface waves. Surface waves are considered to be the wave that causes maximum destruction on the earth's surface.
