1. Surface waves are the type of seismic waves that are primarily responsible for causing damage during an earthquake.
2. The Richter Scale measures the amplitude of seismic waves to quantify the energy released by an earthquake.
3. The magnitude of an earthquake is a numerical representation of the energy released at the source of the earthquake, often measured on the Richter Scale or other similar scales.
4. The intensity of an earthquake refers to the effects and damage caused by the earthquake on people, structures, and the Earth's surface, often measured on the Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale.
