Although it was devastating for the friends and family of the victims of the earthquake, the deaths caused by the earthquake are only a short term effect. This is because before the earthquake the population of Tangshan was estimated to be around 1.6 million people, so, a loss of 242,419 lives (about 1/6 of the population) is only a very small amount compared to the estimated population. There are also thousands of children being born in Tangshan daily which increases the population by a small amount each day.
Some Farmland in Tangshan was ruined because of the Earthquake. A lot of farmland was unusable for quite some time after the earthquake so no crops would have been able to be grown. Due to the lack of crops less food would be produced so there would be a shortage of food available. This means that due to the lack of crops the farmers wouldn't have any produce to sell, so they would have no financial income and because of the food shortage.
Short term effects of the earthquake in Tangshan, China include immediate deaths, loss of farmland, shortage of food, loss of agricultural income. The Tangshan earthquake of 1976 was one of the largest earthquakes in recent years.
An earthquake or other natural disaster can have a significant long term impact on the economy. Destruction of infrastructure can have a significant negative long term effect on local businesses.
short term-
long term -
The effects of the Haiti earthquake are buildings being destroyed, but most importantly injury and loss of life. Which in this instance is estimated to be 200000 dead, lots of jobs have been lost, building being destroyed from the president's palace, to the smallest shack. Inmates escaped from the prisons when the walls collapsed which has lead too people Looting and Robbing, and other related crimes.
The short term effects of the Haiti earthquake are
The long term effects of the Haiti earthquake are
There have been accounts from people of the community of Haiti that have said there injured people walking and lying on the streets. many people are dying in front of every body to see and families are being torn apart.
A 4 x 5 mile [6.4 x 8.0 kilometer] area of the northeastern Chinese city of Tangshen, as the earthquake's epicenter, was the area most affected in China by the quake of July 28, 1976. But the seismic waves caused damage in the cities of Qinhuangdao and Tianjin and even 87-1/2 miles [140 kilometers] away in Beijing. Tremors were felt 470 miles [760 kilometers] away in Xi'an. According to the map, there may have been effects across the China Sea and into North Korea.
The Number 1 Deadliest Earthquake in World History.) The Shaanxi Earthquake.You've gotten through all the boring stuff. Now comes the big one. This earthquake started in Shaanxi, China, and devestated an area over 520 miles! More than 20 meter deep crevices were made during this earthquake.More than 97 countries were shaken by this enourmous earthquake. A staggering 830,000 people died during this massive tremor. Over 60% of some country's population were killed. The cost of this earthquake cannot be written in todays terms, because it is so large. This earthquake was only an 8 on the Richter Scale, only 1 Gigaton.Number 2.) The Tangshan Earthquake.On July 28, 1976, the "Great" Tangshan Earthquake struck Tangshan, Hebei. This shock was believed to be the largest earthquake of the 20th century. The Chinese Government said that 655,000 people were killed, but latest research has believed that the toll was not as much, only 255,000, compared to the 655,000. The earthquake only lasted 10 seconds, but the magnetude made up for the short time. Seismographs recorded this earthquake as a 8.2 in some areas, a 2.2 Gigaton earthquake. The earthquake struck very early in the morning, when people were asleep. This left very little time to react to this earthquake. Tangshan was believed to be a region with very low risk of earthquakes, so the buildings were not to be made earthquake-proof. The earthquake was 4 miles long by 5 miles wide, leaving a massive area crumbled. The total damage was nearly 10 billion yuan, or $1.3 billion.Number 3.) the Haiyuan Earthquake.240,000 people were killed on the December 16, 1920 earthquake that hit Haiyuan County, Ningxia. The Richter Scale recorded this earthquake as a 7.8, 700 Megatons, but is still being discussed. Chinese Geologists believe that the earthquake could have been a 8.5, 5.6 Gigatons, instead of a 7.8. This earthquake was felt for over 125 miles and the aftershocks lasted over 3 years. It was also called the 1920 Gansu Earthquake because Ningxia was a part of Gansu when the earthquake occurred.
there is a short amount of time because people do not know when an earthquake will actually occur. so a building can't crush down on you when you just figure out a earthquake is happening.
An Area along an active fault that has not had recent earthquake activity(:
Yes.
Short-term effects and long-term effects of the Water Use and Management Practices on the Environment?
The short term effects in Bangladesh earthquake include destruction of property and minor causalities. There are advanced technologies currently being used to detect earthquakes before they happen.
everything
i need to know that too ! lol

there are all sorts of things that happen after an earthquake like power going out
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.
The immediate short term effect of the japan earthquake 2011 was the massive tsunami that occurred after a few minutes. The short term effects of the series of earthquakes on March 11, 2011 in Japan and the resulting tsunami was the initial death toll in addition to collapsed buildings, fires, disruption of water/sewer lines, displaced people/cars, damage to infrastructure (roads, highways, and bridges), etc. Another short term effect was the damage to the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant and resulting evacuations.

The 3 most common short term effects of the sun is sunburn, headache, and fatigue. The short term effects last from hours to several days.
