Earthquakes vary greatly in intensity. Many are not strong enough to cause any notable damage. Additionally, in some earthquake-prone areas the buildings are built to withstand earthquakes, and so are less likely to be damaged.
It all depends on how big the fault is, bigger ones will cause bigger earthquakes, while smaller, or small ones may cause no earthquake at all.

The measurement of how likely an area is to have damaging earthquakes is called seismic hazard. It assesses the probability of ground shaking exceeding a certain intensity within a specific timeframe.
California next to Alaska, but California's quakes are more damaging.
Volcanoes produce volcanic eruptions and occasionally damaging earthquakes.
Earthquakes possess a unique way of damaging structures. Earthquakes vibrate and shake structures, never in just one direction. This chaotic back-and-forth movement is very harmful to architecture.
