If it is big enough it could still be felt on land and do damage. There is also the chance of a tsunami being created and causing damage on land.
An earthquake in the ocean is dangerous than on land because in the ocean if it occurs it can generate an earthquake which can cause more destruction than an earthaquake on land
If the earthquake occurs on land - the highest damage occurs at the epicentre (the point at which the quake starts). If the quake begins at sea - most damage is caused at coastal regions from tidal waves.
Buildings on filled land has less damages. Buildings on loose or soft soil has more damage.
Under the sea an earthquake may cause a tsunami depending on the power of the quake.
cause they had bad land

An earthquake on land can cause extensive damage and loss of life as buildings collapse. If the earthquake happens under the sea, a tsunami can form and destroy coastal areas and some way inland.

it causes land slides
Alot of damage because the people said so what lets hurt our land.

The damage that an earthquake inflicts depends on its magnitude and the characteristics of the ground in the area where it hits. Some examples of damages that can occur after an earthquake are landslides, the collapse of structures and the loss of lives.
It certainly is. The point on the surface where the earthquake starts is the epicenter, located directly above the earthquake's focus point. The land nearest to the epicenter takes the most impact as the primary and secondary waves move outward and gradually weaken. Assuming that all buildings are the same, the buildings closest to the epicenter will always take the most damage.
Buildings on filled land has less damages. Buildings on loose or soft soil has more damage.
