Why might earthquakes be more damaging in poor areas of the world?
Earthquakes kill more people in poorer countries, such as Haiti, than richer countries, such as Chile, because the richer countries can afford to build houses made with stronger materials. In Haiti, lots of families were poor and lived in mud houses or houses made with weak materials, so when the earthquake came, the houses and buildings fell down and killed more people, but in Chile, not as many people died because the houses and buildings protected them. Also, another factor is the price of medical care. in Haiti, they couldn't afford enough medical care for everyone, while Chile could.
