Streets often flood after an earthquake due to the disruption of underground water lines and sewer systems caused by ground shaking. The seismic activity can lead to fractures in pipes, allowing water to escape and accumulate on the surface. Additionally, the shifting of the ground can alter drainage patterns, exacerbating the flooding. In some cases, tsunamis or landslides triggered by the earthquake can also contribute to flooding in coastal or hilly areas.

Why do you think streets are often flooded after an earthquake?
Streets can become flooded after an earthquake due to damage to water mains or sewer lines, causing leaks or breaks in the systems. The shaking can also disrupt drainage systems, leading to water pooling on the streets. Additionally, liquefaction - when soil temporarily behaves like a liquid - can occur during an earthquake and contribute to flooding.
