A primary affect is what happens during and throughout the day of the earthquake. Earthquake primary effects may include:

  • landslides
  • trees collapsing
  • buildings collapsing
  • people buried in rubble
  • school children trapped under collapsed schools
  • Poorly built buildings toppling over
  • Limbless crying orphans impaled on twisted metal poles.

and secondary affects are the consequences of the primary effects, or the things that happen later on from the earthquake. Some secondary effects may include:

  • homelessness
  • need of emergency housing
  • households were inaccessible by road due to landslides
  • food will be lost
  • Disease spread, sourced from people drinking the dirty, contaminated water
  • Cracks in the ground and walls.
  • buildings split in two.
  • Lots of rubble that takes years to move

What were the primary and secondary effects of the Mt St Helen's eruption?

We can divide the effects of an earthquake into those known as the primary effects and those known as the secondary effects. Primary effects of an earthquake are those resulting directly from the earthquake itself. These include; buildings collapsing; roads cracking; bridges giving way; shattering of glass and injuries / deaths resulting from these. Secondary effects are those that result from the primary effects. For example ground shaking may result in the cracking of gas and water pipes (primary effects) this can result in severe fires due to explosion from escaping gas and difficulties in putting out fires due to lack of water from burst mains (secondary effects). Other secondary effects include, homelessness, business going bankrupt and closing etc.
