Falling and collapsing Buildings and other falling things
The most violent shaking during an earthquake typically occurs closest to the earthquake's epicenter, where the seismic waves are strongest. As you move further away from the epicenter, the shaking intensity decreases.
At the epicentre which, is the central point from which it originates.
Reinforced concrete is generally considered the most stable foundation material during earthquake shaking. The reinforcement helps to distribute forces and provide flexibility to withstand the dynamic loading caused by earthquakes. Proper design and construction are essential to ensure the stability of the foundation in earthquake-prone areas.
The damage depends on the several factors. These factors include the intensity and duration of the vibration's, the nature of the material on which the structure is built and the design on the structure.
Most deaths during a tornado are caused by flying debris. High winds can turn everyday objects into dangerous projectiles that can cause severe injuries and fatalities. Taking cover in a sturdy building or underground shelter is the best way to protect yourself from flying debris during a tornado.
Building Collapse and falling objects
Aftershocks cause the most earthquake-related deaths and injuries.
Aftershocks cause the most earthquake-related deaths and injuries.
Most earthquake-related injuries and deaths result from collapsing walls, flying glass, and falling objects caused by the ground shaking.

Most deaths and injuries in a tornado are the result of flying debris.
most earthquake related deaths and injuries are the result of human error, corruption and greed. for example, in 1999, izmit turkey was hit by a 7.4 magnitude earthquake killing tens of thousands. time magazine of that year reported that public outrage quickly focused on the substandard apartment blocks that boosted the quake's toll. greedy contractors were blamed for using shoddy materials, slipshod methods and the help of corrupt officials to bypass building codes and ignore earthquake proofing requirements. while these buildings crushed sleeping citizens in seconds, solid buildings, constructed according to correct requirements, withstood the temblor with barely a crack.
