Answer 3

Because when the plates are pushing against each other for a moment they don't move. After a while the pressure becomes too much and there is a sudden jolt. This sudden jolt releases a large amount of energy that creates a large amount of destruction. The miss placement of land and soil also is very destructive towards buildings, such as the Haiti earthquake.

Answer 4

it depends on the scale of the earthquake and where it hits. For example, a big earthquake will cause large amounts of damage in a well built area but will cause hardley any damage in a not very wel built up area. Also a small earthquake could cause a large amount of damage in a place where the soil/ground is lose/wet. Hope i helped high-5 yay

Answer 6
