The effects of earthquakes include
1) Shaking and ground rupture - severe damage to buildings
2) landslides and avalanches
3) fires through the damage of power or gas lines
4) Soil liquefaction - causes buildings to lean and become unstable
5) Tsunami - in the same area or other areas
6) Floods
7) Tidal forces
8) Human impacts such as the spread of disease, death, lack of basic necessities such as water, property and road damage...

no it is caused by earthquakes
What causes tsunami and earthquakes in Japan?
Earthquakes in Japan are caused by the movement of tectonic plates. A tsunami is a large ocean wave that is caused by sudden motion on the ocean floor which can be triggered by earthquakes.
Are earthquakes caused by wind?
No, earthquakes cannot be caused by the wind at all. Earthquakes are caused by tectonic plate boundaries, where the moving plates generate pressure. The pressure is released as an earthquake. Occasionally earthquakes may be caused by volcanoes, but this is simply another effect of moving tectonic plates. So the wind has no influence whatsoever on earthquakes or seismic activity.
Are fault lines caused by earthquakes?
No, fault lines cause earthquakes
What is most of earths major earthquakes caused by?

What other hazards were caused by the earthquake?
Larger earthquakes causes contamination when damage to infrastructure happens, causing disease and other problems down the line.
