How dangerous can an earthquake get?
Earthquakes can range in severity from minor tremors to devastating events with catastrophic consequences. The level of danger depends on factors such as the earthquake's magnitude, depth, proximity to populated areas, and local infrastructure. Strong earthquakes can cause widespread destruction, loss of life, and have lasting impacts on communities.
Why do aftershocks present a special danger?

People may also be at risk from falling debris or landslides triggered by aftershocks. Additionally, aftershocks can cause panic and hinder rescue and recovery efforts.
Is a volcano more dangerous than an earthquake?
Assessment of the risks cannot be made categorically. The danger presented by a volcano depends on the size and type of eruptions it produces and how the eruptions may interact with terrain and climate. Large, explosive eruptions tend to be the most dangerous, especially where a wet climate may increase the risk of mudflows. Similarly, the danger from an earthquake depends on the size and depth of the earthquake, the type of material at the surface, quality of building construction, and whether there is potential for a tsunami. Large, shallow earthquakes tend to be more destructive and areas build on soft sediment are usually worse hit than areas built on bedrock.
