The kinds of damage earthquakes, landslides, and tsunamis cause varies by strength of the event, location, whether the location was inhabited, kinds of industries nearby, etc. So I can only answer generally. Damages could include:
- partial or complete displacement of land
- partial or complete obliteration of land size, shape, etc.
- partial or complete displacement of water
- partial or complete obliteration of former boundaries between land and bodies of water; for example, a new lake may be formed
- partial or complete blockage or destruction of bridges and roadways
- partial or complete destruction of buildings
- partial or complete destruction of farm lands, crops, and private gardens
- partial or complete destruction of animals' natural habitats
- creation of piles of debris and junk
- creation of heath risks to humans
- displacement of people, whole towns or areas
- creation of tent cities needing disaster assistance
What else can I help you with?
What damage do earthquakes tsunamis and landslides cause?
A lot of damage
Can earthquakes cause other geological disasters?
earthquakes can cause tsunamis, landslides, flooding, and volcanos
What cause earthquakes tsunamis and landslides?
Shifting of Tectonic Plates.
What are some factors that cause tsunamis?
Tsunamis are caused by undersea landslides. There are many possible causes for undersea landslides, but the most common are undersea earthquakes.
Can energy be released in an earthquake that can cause landslides and tsunamis?
Yes, during an earthquake, the release of energy can trigger landslides due to the shaking of the ground, which can dislodge rocks and soil. Additionally, underwater earthquakes can displace large volumes of water, generating tsunamis due to the transfer of energy to the ocean.
How do earthquakes cause fatalities?
Earthquakes can cause fatalities by collapsing buildings, triggering landslides, and creating tsunamis. The shaking can also cause injuries and lead to infrastructure damage, making it difficult for emergency services to respond quickly.
What do vibrations from tectonic plate movement cause?
They chiefly cause earthquakes, and could also result to landslides and tsunamis.
How does an earthquake 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.
Has an earthquake ever caused a tsunami?
Earthquakes can cause tsunamis, along with landslides and volcanic activity in the sea. Practically any disturbance in the ocean can cause a tsunami, and most major tsunamis are caused by earthquakes.

What are five hazards caused by earthquakes?
Earthquakes can cause grounds shaking, tsunamis, landslides and rockfalls, subsidence and lateral spreading, and liquefaction.
What are 3 underwater names that can cause tsunamis?
Underwater landslides, Underwater volcanic eruptions, and Underwater earthquakes
