How do earthquakes cause chaos?

Earthquakes can cause chaos by generating intense shaking that can damage buildings, infrastructure, and utilities such as electricity, water, and gas. This destruction can lead to injuries, fatalities, and widespread economic disruption. Additionally, secondary effects such as landslides, tsunamis, and aftershocks can further exacerbate the chaos following an earthquake.
