It depends on how big the earthquake is. A big earthquake will cause more damage to the area.

What do you do about earthquakes?
i think that earthquakes are bad and destructive in many many ways. but no matter where you go there will be natural disasters. If you are there when an earthquake happens then I'm really sorry. There is no way you can know when an earthquake is going to happen.
Are Many earthquakes destructive?
Yes many earthquakes are destructive
What is more destructive An earthquake or a tsunami?
tsunami depending on how force full it is I would say earthquakes because earthquakes can cause tsunamis. Both because it matters how much water comes in and what level the earthquake is
What are easy earthquake questions?
Some good questions about earthquakes are:What is an earthquake?How long do earthquakes last?Is there an 'earthquake season' or 'earthquake weather'?Where is the safest place to be in an earthquake?Will the ground open up during an earthquake?What is a seismometer, seismograph, and a seismogram?When was the seismograph invented?What is the Richter Scale?Do many small earthquakes prevent larger earthquakes?Can we predict earthquakes?What is liquefaction?
What is the cause of earthquakes in volcanic regions?
Earthquakes are like a rubber band. They both have limits. If you strech a rubber band the farthest it can, it will eventually meet it's elastic limit or the point where it can strech its farthest. If you go any farther than its elastic limit the rubber band will break. This is an example of how earthquakes are formed.I'm not sure if a volcano can cause earthquake or an earthquake can cause an volcanic eruption or both. But earthquakes can cause volcanoes to erupt. There are many kinds of earthquakes some are big and destructive but most of them are small that we can't even feel. Small earthquakes are important now and then because if they don't happen often the stress and force build up and create a big earthquake. One cause of earthquake causes in volcanic regions can probably be the shaking of an earthquake can cause an eruption. Or the shaking ofa volcano can cause an earthquake.
Has there ever been any bridge that has survived a earthquake?
Many bridges survive earthquakes. Most earthquakes are small or moderate and do very little damage.
Effects of earthquakes?
Earthquakes are very destructive nature fightback . Some Earthquakes bring landslides , loss of lives and properties . When an earthquake happened in the ocean a TSUNAMI is most likely to occur . Not to metion huge cracks in the earth's surface.
How many earthquakes do we detect each year and how many cause damage?
a magnitude 7.2 earthquake produces 10 times more ground motion than a magnitude 6.2 earthquake, but it releases about 32 times more energy. The energy release best indicates the destructive power of an earthquake.
Are there many earthquakes in the deserts?
yes there is many earthquake in the desert
When was Haiti's smallest earthquake?
That is impossible to tell. Smaller earthquakes occur more frequently, to the extent that the majority of earthquakes are too small to event be felt. Without a sophisticated seismic network, many earthquakes will not even be detected.
Is it better to have a smaller earthquake so it can increase a greater earthquake?
Many small, frequent earthquakes relieving stresses gradually are better than one large earthquake that happens infrequently in respect of the destruction to property involved.
What causes many strong earthquakes to occur?
Many strong earthquakes occur among destructive plate margins, this is because great stresses build up in the subduction zone as one plate is forced down below the other, this energy builds up to great force and is then released in an earthquake.
