Tsunami
An earthquake is never deadlier in strengh but during the night when most people are asleep is the most deadly time as when buildings collapse the people inside get crushed or buried alive
it depends how strong the earthquake is
there was one reason there were many different car accidents and ane accidents.

Yes, there are possibilities of the Earth opening during an Earthquake.
there was destruction and many people deid
the weather during the day of the earthquake
The energy released during a 7.0 earthquake is equivalent to about 32 million pounds of TNT, which is a massive amount of energy. The destruction caused by such an earthquake can be widespread and devastating.

at the epicentre or where the land is the most soft as it shakes more and then objects on it sinks or collapse.
Building Collapse and falling objects
Activation of a fault during an earthquake.
No, P waves are not usually responsible for the most destruction during an earthquake. P waves are fast-moving seismic waves that usually cause less damage compared to the slower and more destructive S waves and surface waves. The shaking and ground displacement caused by these other waves typically result in the most destruction during an earthquake.
If I were in the middle of a grass field during an earthquake, then probably nothing bad would happen to me, I wouldn't get injured. However, if I were in the middle of a shopping mall, with 5 tons of concrete above my head... different story... To put it short: stability of the buildings is crucial. So is the density of the population. If buildings collapse easily, and if there are many people in the given region, then the results of an earthquake can be pretty bad...
ground shaking and foundation failure
Ground shaking and foundation faliure
An earthquake causes vibrations to move through the ground (in simple terms this makes the ground shake). If the earthquake is large and releases a lot of energy then the amplitude of the shaking (a bit like the height of a water wave) gets larger and so does the ability of the earthquake to cause damage.
