No. Earthquakes differ in cause (strike-slip, megathrust, volcanic, etc.) and in intensity.
All earthquakes are measured on either the Richter scale or the Mercalli scale.
they are the same because they all cause damage to the earth
Nope! They move in different directions which is why there are earthquakes.
They aren't.
No, earthquakes do not have an impact on people in the same way simply because some earthquakes are bigger than others. As a result, they might have a bigger effect on one community over another.

It all depends on how big the fault is, bigger ones will cause bigger earthquakes, while smaller, or small ones may cause no earthquake at all.
Earthquakes occur on all of the continents, even Antarctica.
