What is the effect of an earthquake?
Earthquakes can destroy people's house.It might cost people a lot of money to build a new house. It can cause cracks on the ground from buildings collapsing on the ground.Which can cause a lot of car accidents.
Can you die in an earthquake?
If you stand near a building then it can crush you to death. If you stand near anything during an earthquake it might fall and hurt you or part of a building might fall off and hurt you.Most injuries caused by earthquakes result from things falling down and hitting someone; in a large earthquake it is not uncommon for entire buildings to collapse, and if people are inside those buildings when they collapse, the structural material of the building (bricks, cement, wooden beams, etc.) will fall on top of those people and injure them. Since earthquakes can open up large crevices in the earth, people sometimes fall into those as well. Tsunamis are a special case. Earthquakes can cause huge ocean waves called tsunamis, which can then strike people, cars, buildings, etc. with great force, and often will cause people to be washed out to sea where they may drown. Then there is damage to gas lines, power lines, or other infrastructure, which can result in fires or other damage.
Do people get hurt by an earthquake?
Yes, people can get hurt by an earthquake. The shaking of the ground can cause buildings and structures to collapse or suffer significant damage, leading to injuries or fatalities. Additionally, falling debris, landslides, and tsunamis triggered by earthquakes can also cause harm to people.
Why might you want to leave a car during an earthquake?
Because you might get trapped in the car
How many people did the earthquake in japan kill?
We are still unsure about the amount of deaths due to the earthquake it might be many and it might be a few. and due to that earthquake tsunamis are heading towards the US. Canada and Hawaii. the earthquake may have caused deaths already but the deaths might be starting.
What is the cause of fire during earthquake?
There is no direct causal connection between having an earthquake and the start of a fire. However, the earthquake might destroy things (electricity cables, buildings, etc.) which when destroyed can cause fire. For example, an oil leak could be caused by the earthquake and with a spark of an electricity cable this could cause a fire. Hope this answers your question.

Is 3.6 strong earthquake?
A 3.6 earthquake is considered a minor earthquake with low potential for causing damage. It may be felt by people, especially those near the epicenter, but is unlikely to cause significant harm to structures or infrastructure.
If you are swimming in the ocean during an earthquake - can you feel the earthquake?
Water will create violent waves and if you continue to swim you might be pushed and flipped around. It might sound fun but it is really dangerous and can cause serious injuries. Trust me! Get out as soon as you can!

Tell me the effects of an earthquake?
An earthquake can cause ground shaking, surface rupture, landslides, tsunamis, and structural damage to buildings and infrastructure. It can result in injuries, deaths, and long-term economic and social impacts on the affected area.
Can an earthquake population cause people to die?
Indirectly yes. Earthquakes cause mass damage and destruction, depending on the severity. A lower level earthquake won't cause as much damage, might just be a slight rumble. But a higher level earthquake (a prime example being the one in Japan in 2011) will cause mass damage and possibly a Tsunami depending on the location. Earthquakes of high magnitudes can cause buildings to fall, bridges to collapse, and can kill thousands. Tsunamis make that number go up.
Did the earthquake off the coast of Chili really cause a tsunami that might affect half of the world?
No it will just affect Hawaii
How does earthquakes affect people?
