Why is fires the leading cause for earthquakes?

fires are not the leading cause of earthquakes. The earth is covered in massive plates that move around. When these plates rub against each other massive amounts of energy is built up. Earthquakes are the release of this energy.


How are fires caused by earthquakes and what are the main factors that contribute to their ignition and spread?

Fires caused by earthquakes can happen when gas lines rupture, electrical wires spark, or buildings collapse. Factors that contribute to their ignition and spread include flammable materials, lack of firefighting resources, and strong winds.

Earthquakes can damage gas lines, causing leaks that can ignite and start fires. Additionally, earthquakes can disrupt electrical systems, leading to short circuits and sparking fires. The combination of these factors can result in widespread fires following an earthquake.


What are the causes and effects of earthquakes?

Earthquakes are caused by faulting, a sudden lateral or vertical movement of rock along the break of the surface - because of plate tectonics. The surface of the Earth is broken up into 'plates', and those plates are constantly shifting against each other. In this way, earthquakes occur. Effects of earthquakes are usually disastrous but it usually depends on the magnitude of the quake. They can include structural damage (to manmade structures), fires, landslides, loss of human and animal life, and tsunamis (or tidal waves).
