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.

Are natural disasters caused by sin?
No, there is no evidence that natural disasters are caused by people sinning, or just sin in general. Earthquakes are caused by plate tectonics, and tsunamis are caused by earthquakes. Every natural disaster has some sort of explanation or reason behind it, and it is somewhat ludicrous to attribute them to sin.
Has a tsunami ever hit the Pacific Ocean?
Yes, tsunamis have hit the Pacific Ocean. The Pacific Ocean is known for being part of the Pacific Ring of Fire, which is an area prone to earthquakes and volcanic activity. These events can trigger tsunamis that can affect countries bordering the Pacific Ocean.
Why do earthquakes mostly hit Japan?
Because they are in the ring of fire, a very volcanic area around the pacific tectonic plate that always moves and causes earthquakes, in California, Alaska, Haiti, and ofcourse Japan. I'm 13 ________________________ They do not. There are earthquakes all over the world, every day. But because Japan is part of the "Ring of Fire" around the Pacific Ocean, Japan does sometimes experience severe quakes. But then, so does California, South America, Iran, and New Zealand. And earthquakes can hit almost anywhere. See the link below for the real-time list of "recent earthquakes".

The worst was category 4 Hurricane Iniki in 1992. Earthquakes can also occur in Hawaii as a consequence of volcanic activity, with one earthquake registering a 7.9
Can hurricanes cause any other natural disaster?
One related natural disaster to earthquakes are tsunami, which are created when one side of a fault is uplifted, creating a huge displacement of water. This forms a large, very fast moving wave of water known as a tsunami.
