Iran suffers from frequent earthquakes as it lies on a convergent plate boundary between the Eurasian plate and Arabian Plate. One plate was pushing against the other, creating built up tension. This was released as the Earthquake. Primary Effects: · 26,271 people died and 30,000 were injured. · Mass destruction of many building as the majority were constructed of mud-brick. Secondary Effects: · As it was winter and the earthquake had made many homeless, many families struggled with surviving the sub-zero temperature without shelter. · Disease spread quickly due to poor sanitation. · Violent looters stole goods.
