Which type of seismic wave produces the most severe ground movement

Rayleigh waves (which are a type of surface wave) produce the largest amplitude and so most severe ground movements during earthquakes.
Surface waves produce the most severe ground movements. They produce movements similar to waves in the water, where the water's particles move in a pattern that is almost circular. They move more slowly then P waves or S waves.
