Why is it easier for people to keep safe from a volcano eruption that from an earthquake?

Since a volcano eruption happens and starts at one place, lava and pyroclastic flow has to flow outwards from the volcano, therefore making it easier for people to fun away from it like they're being chased. But an earthquake usually shakes a large area, destroying all the roads in the area, so it would take longer to leave the affected area, one of the reasons being the fact that roads are destroyed.

How do you reduce the effect of earthquake?

I have survived the 1999 Turkish earthquake killing approximately 50,000. As far as I know, there is no way to reduce an earthquake but if you meant "reduce the damage an earthquake causes" then there are ways for that. You must know if you are located on or around a fault-line where two tectonic plates meet. These plates move the opposite directions and cause an elastic tension effect, when they come to a point where the tension is so high they snap and cause shaking which is the quake. When developing a city or a community, on or around a fault line make sure the building is good and safe with the standards for earthquake, make everyone aware that a possibility of an earthquake is there and make emergency plans. I never saw the Turkish earthquake coming, it hit everyone by surprise so buildings changed, people became more aware of earthquake safety after the quake but we could have avoided the 50,000 dead.


When there is an earthquake what is the surface of the earth broken up into?

Earthquakes do not Break the surface of earth, its the tectonic plates rubbing against each other, the gap most people call an earthquake is the gap between 2 different tectonic plates, The tectonic plates move because they just kind of float on top of Hot Magma, its like trying to keep 2 boats beside each other on the water, they have to move because of the force of the undercurrent. I hope this answer has been of much use.
