Love waves cause more damage than Rayleigh waves, but both are highly destructive because they occur near the surface of the Earth.

Earthquake surface waves are divided into two different categories: Love and Rayleigh. ... Their side-to-side motion (like a snake wriggling) causes the ground to twist from side to side, that's why Love waves cause the most damage to structures.
