Seismic waves
Above 8-9 magnitude can cause severe earthquake....
cause rocks fall!
Siesmic

No
No, there were no reported deaths from the 4.0 earthquake in California. Earthquakes of this magnitude typically cause minimal damage and are unlikely to result in fatalities. It is recommended to stay prepared and follow safety protocols in case of any future seismic activity.
No, it is not possible for an earthquake to cause parts of California to fall into the ocean. California is located on the North American Plate, which is not at risk of subduction beneath an adjacent plate. While earthquakes can cause coastal land to shift or sink, the idea of a significant portion of California falling into the ocean is purely a myth.
The movement of the earth's crust and the plate boundaries, cause seismic activity, which causes the earth to rumble, causing the feel of an 'earthquake'.
It is not possible for an earthquake to cause California to fall into the ocean. This is an urban myth.
This is known as an earthquake or as seismic activity.
the entire state? no, its impossible. however in certain areas of california with water saturated sandy soils (often man made landfill soil) earthquake shaking can cause liquefaction, resulting in the sinking of objects on the surface into the ground.
This is known as an earthquake or as seismic activity.
No, sound itself cannot cause an earthquake. Earthquakes are caused by the sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust, usually as a result of tectonic plate movement or volcanic activity. Sound waves are different from seismic waves that cause earthquakes.
The difference between them is that Primary effects happen during the earthquake e.g. Casualties, Damage to parking structures & free ways. But with Secondary effects they happen after an earthquake e.g. Fire, Landslides & Liquefaction
The San-Andreas fault line.
what was the cause of Yunnan china earthquake
The secondary wave of the earthquake cause little damage, only a few buildings fell.
