Homes , lives , buildings, electricity, water and the coastline were destroyed.
It depends on your connotation of "earthquake." If by earthquake you mean just the period when the earth's motion can be traced to a specific event, the Hatian earthquake lasted about 45 seconds. If however, you mean the period between when the earth's motion caused damage and when that damage is no longer felt in the live of the all people affected by it, the earthquake is still ongoing. Many Hatian people live in tents away from cities and are out of work. Many have had their homes completely desroyed while others have homes still standing with damage and the owners fear if they return another earthquake will cause a collapse.
They could use the information from the seismic wave scale
Damage from earthquakes include collapsed buildings, fallen telephone poles & trees, fires, gas leaks, disruption of water/sewer lines, damage to infrastructure (roads, highways, and bridges), etc. Pulled/broken power lines can cause power outages and electrical fires. Falling debris and wreckage can damage cars, property, humans, and animals alike. Damage to homes include broken windows, glass and mirrors in addition to gas or electrical fires. Homes and buildings can become completely destroyed or unsafe to live in causing large numbers of people to become homeless overnight. Large earthquakes at sea can cause tsunamis which in turn can cause great damage to ships at sea and to the land if it hits ground.
they could spread and destroy thousands of acres and homes and cause thousands of dollars of damage
All the homes that was in the earthquake got damage really really bad.
The Modified Mercalli Intensity (MMI) scale is typically used to assess the level of earthquake damage to homes and other buildings. The scale assigns a value based on observed effects and is used to quantify the intensity of shaking at a specific location during an earthquake.
a big loss of homes
Homes , lives , buildings, electricity, water and the coastline were destroyed.
Around 400,000 people were evacuated from their homes after the Japan earthquake in 2011. Many were displaced due to the threat of tsunamis, nuclear radiation, and structural damage caused by the earthquake.
It can cause choking and destroy peoples homes
The home that were build with bricks
The Haiti earthquake in 2010 caused widespread destruction, including collapsing buildings, infrastructure damage, and loss of life. It also triggered a humanitarian crisis with significant challenges in providing emergency aid and rebuilding efforts.
It can cause damage to property and homes It can cause loss of life It can kill animals It can cause damage to vehicles It can do many things
Typhoons can destroy homes and cause million and millions of dollars in damage depending on the catagory.
Some houses are built with basements. Many homes in California do not have basements, because of the threat of earthquake damage.
The Modified Mercalli Intensity (MMI) scale is commonly used to assess earthquake damage to buildings and structures. This scale measures the intensity of shaking felt at a given location and categorizes the damage caused based on a set of criteria.
