earthquakes can shift things around, like landforms, and mess around with the climate. they are very hazardous. landforms: trees around, can get on telephone poles- fire flooding: climate and levee breaks, or such- The first wave of an earthquake is a strong up ward moving wave known as the primary wave, or Transverse wave. This first wave causes little destruction but can be the most forceful The second, longer wave has a side to side movement, this wave is known as a Longitudinal wave. This wave causes most of the destruction The first wave basically really mucks up the ground, it causes stress fractures in the crust of our earth. The second wave then sakes the already craked ground until land slides, trees or buildings fall over. When certain things under a house suddenly get ripped up, things start to cetch on fire. Floods happen because the levies and dikes brake during the second wave.
What else can I help you with?
Can earthquakes cause other geological disasters?
earthquakes can cause tsunamis, landslides, flooding, and volcanos
What natural forces create flooding?
Flooding can be caused by heavy rainfall or snowmelt, which can overwhelm rivers, lakes, and other bodies of water. Coastal flooding can be caused by storm surges from hurricanes or tsunamis. Additionally, rapid snowmelt or ice jams can also lead to flooding in certain regions.
What are the causes and effects of environmental disaster?
There are so many things that can cause disaster. Tornadoes, hurricanes, flooding, earthquakes, and droughts can all cause disasters in the world.
How does catastrophic form?
Rain and flooding, earthquakes
Why does it flood after earthquakes?
Earthquakes can cause flooding due to several reasons, such as ground shaking disrupting natural drainage systems, landslides blocking water flow, or the formation of new cracks that allow water to seep through. Additionally, tsunamis triggered by undersea earthquakes can also lead to significant flooding along coastlines.
How do earthquakes create flooding?

Can rain cause flooding?
Yes. Excessive rainfall is the most common cause of flooding.
Can tornadoes do lots of flooding?
No. Tornadoes do not cause flooding.
What natural disasters can not be predicted?
Flooding, earthquakes, volcanoes, forest fires, avalanches.
Do tsunamis cause earthquakes?
Earthquakes are one (but not the only) cause of tsunamis.
Do earthquakes have a geologic meteorological or human cause?
Earthquakes have a geological cause.
How are hurricanes and earthquakes similar?
Hurricanes and earthquakes are both natural disasters that can cause widespread destruction and loss of life. They are both triggered by natural processes, such as shifting tectonic plates for earthquakes and warm ocean temperatures for hurricanes. Additionally, both events can lead to secondary hazards, such as landslides, tsunamis, and flooding.
