The Hashin highway collapsed, train tracks became twisted and buckled, roads cracked, water mains burst, houses and buisnesses knocked down and over 6400 people died.
businesses were closed for months people homeless lack of transport links international aid
everything
20 seconds and there was 1320 after shocks
the long term effects are seismic waves which are little earthquakes after thr REAL earthquake; they will go on for who knows how long....the short terms the length of the REAL earthquake the truth is no one knows how long it will take to recover from Haiti it might take years it might take more or less.......just help in whatever way you can!!!
The Hanshin earthquake brings on the same short-term and long-term effects as most other natural disasters. The areas affected will see a strong influx of income as the area rebuilds, and in the long run, this income will provide a more reliable, productive economy.
Business's' close down, transport links can close, people die, utility line are down, fires? (I'm relating mine to the 1995 Kobe earthquake but most of these happen in other earthquakes)
On 17 January 1995, Kobe was hit by an earthquake of magnitude 7.2 on the Richter scale. Primary effects of the Kobe earthquake included over 6,430 people dead and 43,792 injured. Over 300,000 were left homeless. 104,906 houses were completely destroyed, and 460,000 were damaged. This was because of the high density layout of the city. Secondary effects included gas leaks, water mains being cut off and electricity lines being damaged. With gas leaks and loose electrical wires, fires started - of the buildings damaged or destroyed, 7,483 were burnt to the ground and 9,017 more damaged by the fires.
Over 200,000 buildings collapsed, killing 5,000 citizens making 300,000 homeless. Also many buildings sunk into the ground due to liquefaction. And the Hanshin expressway was virtually destroyed one of the best transportation routes in the Kansai region of Japan.
economic decline and urban blight
the short term effects on an unbalanced diet has effect like
Short term
