Why do you think streets are often flooded after an earthquake?

Streets can become flooded after an earthquake due to damage to water mains or sewer lines, causing leaks or breaks in the systems. The shaking can also disrupt drainage systems, leading to water pooling on the streets. Additionally, liquefaction - when soil temporarily behaves like a liquid - can occur during an earthquake and contribute to flooding.
