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
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
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.
Earthquakes occur most frequently along tectonic plate boundaries, such as the Pacific Ring of Fire which encircles the Pacific Ocean. 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.
Water-rich countries include Indonesia, Brazil, and Russia, while water-poor countries include Egypt, Libya, and Yemen. Water-rich countries have abundant freshwater resources, while water-poor countries face challenges in accessing clean water for their populations.
only countries lining the borders of the crust's plates will experience earthquakes. And since these plates are so big, they cover many countries and the ones in the middle experience earthquakes the least.
Poor building structures as well as medical assistance afterwards.
No, it depends on where the country is around the world and how close it is to tectonic plates. Richer countries may suffer though because of all the buildings and the economy.

because they can afford to prepare for something that may never happen. Poor countries, they have trouble enough getting through the day. They can't be spending precious money on rare, future events.

One good thing the US has done is donating money and help to countries who are hit by tragedy- tsunami, earthquakes, hurricanes, etc.
