If you mean damage to the surrounding are then it all depends on how built up the area is. Most damage is caused by structural collapse so more built up areas will see a higher amount of damage than a less built up, more rural area.
If you mean damage to the earths crust itself then you need to look at what type of earthquake it was and the location of the epicentre (the point of origin)
What else can I help you with?
Most damage from an earthquake usually occurs?
Most damage from an earthquake usually occurs near the epicenter, where the shaking is strongest. Structures built on soft soil or near fault lines are particularly vulnerable to damage. Tsunamis triggered by undersea earthquakes can also cause widespread destruction along coastlines.
What is the term for the place where slippage first occurs in an earthquake?
The term for the place where slippage first occurs in an earthquake is the "focus" or "hypocenter." This is the point within the Earth where the seismic energy is released and where the fault rupture begins.
What happens to the roads after an earthquake?
After an earthquake, roads can suffer various levels of damage such as cracks, potholes, and total collapse. The severity of the damage will depend on factors like the magnitude of the earthquake, the quality of the road's construction, and the local soil conditions. Authorities will assess the damage and prioritize repairs based on the criticality of the road for transportation.
How often does an 8.0 earthquake occur?
On average, an 8.0 magnitude earthquake occurs worldwide approximately once a year. These large earthquakes can cause significant damage and pose a serious threat to populations living near tectonic plate boundaries.
Name the point where an earthquake is strongest?
The strongest point in an earthquake is the epicenter.
When an earthquake occurs where would be damage more?
If the earthquake occurs on land - the highest damage occurs at the epicentre (the point at which the quake starts). If the quake begins at sea - most damage is caused at coastal regions from tidal waves.
The earths surface where most earthquake damage occurs is called the?
Epicenter
Where is the most damage done when an earthquake occurs?
The surface that is right above the epicenter of the earthquake,or the place that is right above where the earthquake starts.
Would a large earthquake cause more damage than a small earthquake?
yes
Why can earthquake cause so much damage when liquefaction occurs?
boom panes
How many people die a year with a earthquake?
It depends how many times an earthquake occurs and how much damage happens and how strong it is.....
Which is most likely to result when a large earthquake occurs underwater?
tsunami
What can cause damage for days or months after a large earthquake?
after shocks can be deadly - sometimes as bad as the earthquake itself!
What can cause damage for days months after a large earthquake?
after shocks can be deadly - sometimes as bad as the earthquake itself!
What is a large earthquake?
A "large" earthquake can be a major or great earthquake, both of which can cause serious damage to people, animal life, and buildings.A major earthquake is one of magnitude 7 - 7.9 which can cause serious damage. A great earthquake has a magnitude 8.0 or greater which can completely destroy communities near the epicenter.The 9.1 magnitude earthquake that hit Japan on March 11, 2011, is an example of a very large or great earthquake.
Which earhquake wave cause the largest damage?
Usually you will get greatest damage:* If the earthquake release a large amount of energy, and * If the earthquake gets close to inhabited areas.
What is most likely to result when a large earthquake occurs under water?
A tsunami
