Why may an earthquake cause more damage in one location than another?

If the earthquake happens in a deserted area then there is very little damage. Roads and electricity cables might be damaged.
An earthquake in a city, however, will damage a lot of buildings and many people are likely to die or be trapped in the rubble.

Can an earthquake population cause people to die?
Indirectly yes. Earthquakes cause mass damage and destruction, depending on the severity. A lower level earthquake won't cause as much damage, might just be a slight rumble. But a higher level earthquake (a prime example being the one in Japan in 2011) will cause mass damage and possibly a Tsunami depending on the location. Earthquakes of high magnitudes can cause buildings to fall, bridges to collapse, and can kill thousands. Tsunamis make that number go up.
