Fire is often, but not always a secondary effect of earthquakes. If the earthquake strikes a populated area, it is likely to break natural gas pipes, and to cause other damage in human structures that will result in fires. In an unpopulated region, an earthquake may not cause a fire.
Why do the areas along the ring of fire experience many volcanic eruptions and earthquakes?
About 90% of the world's earthquakes and 81% of the world's largest earthquakes occur along the circum-Pacific seismic belt, also known as the Ring ofFire.

The Ring of Fire is also known as the Pacific Ring of Fire. The yellow line is the location of the Ring of Fire. The Ring of Fire is bascically where the Earth's tectonic plates have spread apart and cracked, allowing warm lava to rise and causing many earthquakes and volcanoes. Also, the plates here often shift and that is why there are often tsunamis. Tsunamis are caused underwater by onshore earthquakes that are very powerful.

Secondary effect is also known as cause and effect.With ref to earthquakes, this can be explained as1st effect The earthquake shakes the ground and collapses a building, breaking a gas pipe2nd effect The gas is ignited causing an explosion
direct and secondary effect
A secondary disturbance refers to a disruption or change that occurs as a result of the original disturbance in a system or environment. It is a consequence or ripple effect of the primary disruption.
Secondary blast effect
No. Earthquakes sometimes cause pollution, but pollution is not an effect of an earthquake.
