Earthquakes have devastating primary impacts, such as loss of life, injury, and destruction of infrastructure, which can be particularly catastrophic in developing countries due to poorer building standards and limited emergency response capabilities. Secondary impacts include economic disruption, displacement of populations, and long-term mental health issues. In developed countries, while the immediate effects may be mitigated by better preparedness and infrastructure, secondary effects like economic downturns, disruption of services, and psychological trauma still occur. Ultimately, the magnitude of both primary and secondary impacts varies significantly based on a country's level of preparedness and resilience.

Why do most people in the UK work tertiary jobs?

Britain is a well economically developed, so it can afford to spend money on things that provide services to people. When countries are less developed they have more primary jobs, countries like China that are quickly developing have mostly secondary jobs- lots of products are made in China as making things takes up a large percentage of what people who live in China do. However as they become more affluent they begin to have more tertiary jobs :)


Is a fire a secondary effect of earthquakes?

Fire is often, but not always a secondary effect of earthquakes. If the earthquake strikes a populated area, it is likely to break natural gas pipes, and to cause other damage in human structures that will result in fires. In an unpopulated region, an earthquake may not cause a fire.
