What are four ways the earthquakes cause damage?
It is Tsunamis, Aftershocks, Liquefaction, and Shaking.
What causes more damage shallow or deep focus earthquakes?
Shallow focus earthquakes generally cause more damage.
What are facts about earthquakes?
they are highly disastrous and can cause SERIOUS damage
Why earthquakes cause more damage than others?
The biggest earthquakes do not always cause the most damage if they strike unpopulated areas, or areas where the local infrastructure was built to withstand severe earthquakes. Also some big earthquakes may be high in intensity, but very short in duration, causing less damage.
How Powerful can earthquakes be?
There are not yet premature known limits to a earthquakes power - even small ones can cause great damage.

How can earthquakes can cause liquefaction to occur?
I have not one clue...
What damage does liquefaction cause?
because
How does an earthquakes cause each of these types of damage?
Earthquakes cause direct damage when the seismic disturbance weakens and collapses buildings and other infrastructures not built to withstand the tremors. This often causes great loss of life. Other damage caused by earthquakes results from landslides, mudslides, avalanches, fires, soil liquefaction and tsunamis.

What are five hazards caused by earthquakes?
Earthquakes can cause grounds shaking, tsunamis, landslides and rockfalls, subsidence and lateral spreading, and liquefaction.
Why did liquefaction cause so much damage in some areas of the Christchurch earthquake?
cause it just did.....
What risk does liquefaction pose during an earthquakes?
Liquefaction can cause subsidence of buildings and other structures which can lead to structural damage or even collapse. It can also cause differential subsidence where one part of the ground subsided more than another. When this occurs (especially under buildings) it can cause even more structural damage than uniformly distributed subsidence and also lead to the fracture of underground services such as water and gas mains. This can lead to a greatly increased risk of fire and explosion and also can hamper the efforts to fight fire due to the damage to water mains.
Why can earthquake cause so much damage when liquefaction occurs?
boom panes
Why does liquefaction cause so much damage?
liquefaction can cause builings to sink since it makes Earth's surface act like a liquid. It can harm people and other stuff too
What other natural disasters occur during earthquakes?
Earthquakes can trigger landslides and can cause tsunami (tidal waves). Earthquakes also cause damage to infrastructure which can lead to fires (especially where gas pipelines are damaged) and may cause the spread of disease due to damage to water and sewer pipe lines.
What damage do earthquakes tsunamis and landslides cause?
A lot of damage
