Why do some earthquake with small magnitude result in more death than earthquake with lager magnitude?

There is no direct correlation between deaths and magnitude. It all depends on the earthquake's location in terms of population areas, and depth.
A 6.5 magnitude quake directly under a large city, might kill 50,000, but an 8.5 magnitude quake situated slightly further away from the city might only kill 500 or so.

∙ 13y agoA small magnitude earthquake can be more deadly than a larger magnitude earthquake due to building codes. For example: Guatemala has numerous earthquakes. Its concrete buildings use far more rebar than do those of the United States. As a result, its buildings do not fall down in an earthquake. Haiti on the other hand built its buildings without rebar. Thus, an earthquake that would rattle pictures on the wall in Guatemala caused loss of life and limb in Haiti. So it comes down to building codes.
