it depends on the earthquake
The point directly above the focus of an earthquake is called the epicenter. It is usually the point of greatest destruction.
the weather during the day of the earthquake
The earthquake itself caused the most damage and triggered more damage from fire as a result of gas mains burning and people who purposely torched their homes not covered for earthquake damage. The next dilemma to the largest destruction was the lack of water pressure for the fire hoses. Widespread panic caused more problems and damage. Discovery channel has a fascinating show on this subject. Perhaps you will be able to see it sometime.
The amount of destruction caused by earthquake vibrations is affected by factors such as the magnitude of the earthquake, the proximity of the earthquake to populated areas, the type of soil and rock present in the region, and the construction standards of buildings and infrastructure.
Destruction Terror Death...
alot
Death, destruction, injury.
No, this earthquake is rated highest on the mercalli scale and thus would cause huge amounts of destruction
there are no positive impacts when an earthquake happens, it only causes misery and destruction
The greatest damage during an earthquake typically occurs near the epicenter, where the seismic waves are the strongest. Areas with older, poorly constructed buildings or infrastructure are more prone to extensive damage. Additionally, regions with loose, water-saturated soil, like liquefaction-prone areas, can experience significant destruction.
