The effects of the Great Kanto Earthquake were mainly the fires. These were so bad because at the time of the earthquake (11:58 am) the Japanese people were cooking lunch at their stoves. Consequently, when the earthquake struck, the gas stoves exploded and the fires spread rapidly. Other effects include houses and buildings falling down, roads and bridges being damaged and thousands of people dying
