1) Magnitude

2) Duration

3) Distance from epicenter

4) Location (land vs. water)

The effects of any earthquake depend on a number of widely varying factors. These factors are all of:

* Intrinsic to the earthquake - its magnitude, type, location, or depth;

* Geologic conditions where effects are felt - distance from the event, path of the seismic waves, types of soil, water saturation of soil; and

* Societal conditions reacting to the earthquake - quality of construction,preparedness of populace, or time of day preparedness
