How does an earthquake relate to a tornado?
Only in the amount of damage they can cause
How does an area's distance from the epicenter effect the amount of damage an earthquake will do?
The proximity of the epicentre to populated or urban areas will effect the damage caused as the closer the earthquake's epicentre, the more energy will be retained by the earthquake waves and so the greater their capacity to cause damage.

What does substrate have to do with earthquake damage?
Substrate is defined as a material that provides the surface on which something is deposited. The degree and amount of earthquake damage is partially dependent upon the substrate of the building. If the structure is not structurally sound and built upon earthquake approved foundations, then damage will be greater.
Why is fire damage a large concern during an earthquake?
Fire damage to a structure weakens the stability of the structure. Structures with fire damage are a concern during an earthquake due to their stability and the high chances of them collapsing.
