Final answer:

Seismic waves from earthquakes spread outward in all directions, with surface waves causing the most damage due to their slow speed and ground movement.


Explanation:

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.
