It depends on the magnitude of an earthquake. For example, a 2.0 magnitude earthquake would virtually kill no one and cause little to no damage. However, a 9.0 earthquake could kill thousands and destroy whole cities.
The most deadly earthquake to date was a magnitude 8.0 quake located near the capital of Shaanxi (Shensi), China in 1956 that killed more than 830,000 people. A major earthquake in a densely populated area such as in a large city can do the most damage to human life.
230,000 died as a result of the earthquake.
Approx. 2000
Earthquakes can cause tsunami's and destroy building. If they are power full enough they can break gas pipes and cause great fires.If you are inside of a building during an earthquake, falling debris and electrical equipment can trap, hurt, or even kill you
230,000 people died in Hati's Earthquake! :(
it can kill them or injure them
Thousands to none.
they can both kill people
180,000 people died. This is an approximation.
The first earthquake happened long before any humans were even alive, so it wouldn't kill any people.
We are still unsure about the amount of deaths due to the earthquake it might be many and it might be a few. and due to that earthquake tsunamis are heading towards the US. Canada and Hawaii. the earthquake may have caused deaths already but the deaths might be starting.
There is no way of knowing. Earthquakes cannot be predicted.
no it didn't kill all of them
umm an earthquake could come and kill you
At 3:42 a.m. on July 28, 1976, a magnitude 7.8 earthquake hit the sleeping city of Tangshan, in northeastern China. The very large earthquake, striking an area where it was totally unexpected, obliterated the city of Tangshan and killed over 250,000 people - making it the deadliest earthquake of the twentieth century.
Statistical information seems to indicate that they are not. Earthquakes kill hundreds to thousands of people every year.
