How do the effects of earthquakes vary between poor and rich countries?

Perhaps its the fact that poor countries lack the infrastructure to appropriately respond. Yea, idk but i think its stupid .... jus sayin It's because poor countries don't have enough money to thoroughly recover from it. Rich countries can recover much easier


Why are earthquacks in poor coutries more than rich countries?

In poorer countries they have a small budget so how much they spend is very important. Since they have a small budget and need to make it last the quality of the material used is low. This makes the buildings poorly built and not well supported. Buildings are not made to withstanding side to side movements and so topple over. This causes building to fall over by either the earthquake itself or the aftershocks. When buildings fall people die


Why can rich countries build earthquake proof buildings?

Because they're rich. They can afford the materials and engineers to design them and build them. The rich countries share designs with poorer countries, but the poor countries simply don't have the wealth to build the structures.


Where earthquakes have hit the most?

Countries located in this region, like Japan, Indonesia, and Chile, experience a higher frequency of earthquakes. Additionally, regions along the Himalayas and the San Andreas Fault in California are also prone to frequent earthquakes.
