The earthquake itself does not, but they can cause high losses of life in collapsing buildings, either in the original tremor or when after-shocks bring down weakened buildings.

Why do earthquakes and volcanoes occur in bands around the earth?
because the plates of earth is moving cause a big or small vibrate that cause earthquakes and cause a volcano to become active
Why do earthquakes occur at depth less than 100 km?
cause Y0LO
Can volcanoes cause earthquakes?
Yes, volcano eruptions can cause earthquakes; they can also be caused by earthquakes or occur at the same time.Yes. Earthquakes are common around active volcanoes. They are usually triggered by the movement of magma beneath the earth and the fracturing of rock that results. However, volcanic earthquakes are not very large and generally do not cause much damage directly.
What is the most common cause of tsunamis?
Tsunami are waves caused by sudden movement of the ocean due to earthquakes, landslides on the sea floor, land slumping into the ocean, large volcanic eruptions or meteorite impact in the ocean.
What type of earthquake occurs in mid ocean ridges?
Shallow focus earthquakes occur at the mid ocean ridges because the thin lithosphere found there is to weak to allow a large amount of strain to build up and cause larger earthquakes.
Why does a tsunami follow a earthquakes?
earthquakes normally cause tsunamis to occur
Which plate earthquakes occur at?
Earthquakes can occur anywhere on Earth but large ones are more common at destructive plate bookbinderies.
How can earthquakes can cause liquefaction to occur?
I have not one clue...
Are earthquakes environmental issues?
No, they occur naturally. They are considered natural disasters. They can cause an issue when they occur however, and even cause a tsunami.
Do earthquakes occur you the ocean?
earth quake in the ocean cause tsunami
Do earthquakes have to occur on land?
Nope - they can occur at sea too - they're the main cause of tidal waves.
What is the effect of large sudden rock movements occur along a fault?
earthquakes

Where do very deep large magnitude earthquakes occur?
At convergent boundaries where subduction is occurring.
Why are large magnitude earthquakes infrequent?
Large earthquakes release a lot of energy, and it takes a long time for this energy to build up in faults, so they don't occur that often.
