What damage do earthquakes cause?
Depending on the strength of the earthquake [via the Richter Scale] it can cause either very minor shakes or drastically damage an area. Cracks in the roads, buildings collapse, bridges split.. etc.
What is another threat to people during an earthquake besides ground shaking?
Buildings and bridges collapsing, fires as a result of collapse, loss of water and electricity from damage to utilities, etc.

What Measures the amount of structural and geological damage an earthquake causes?
Intensity.
What are the damages of earthquake with a magnitude of 5?
A magnitude 5 earthquake may cause slight damage to well designed buildings and major damage or destruction of poorly constructed buildings.
What's the definition of earthquake damage?
Earthquake damage is the damage to property and life from the ground vibrations during an earthquake. The Richter scale is one way to measure the scale of earthquake damage. For example, a magnitude of 5 is strong enough to damage weak buildings.
What damage was caused by the Izmit earthquake?
several thousand buildings collapsed in the earthquake. Estimates say that at least 20,000 buildings collapsed or were heavily damaged.
