What thing caused by the ground causes the most damage in earthquakes?

Ground shaking is the primary cause of damage in earthquakes, as it can lead to building collapse, landslides, and infrastructure failure. The intensity of the ground shaking, which is influenced by factors such as magnitude, distance from the epicenter, and local geology, determines the extent of damage to structures and the environment.

Can bubbles in tires cause shake?

Yes, bubbles in tires can cause shaking while driving. These bubbles, often due to issues like a separation of the tire layers or damage from impacts, can create an imbalance in the tire. This imbalance can lead to vibrations, affecting the vehicle's handling and comfort. It's important to address any tire bubbles promptly to ensure safety and prevent further damage.
