The effects of earthquakes include
1) Shaking and ground rupture - severe damage to buildings
2) landslides and avalanches
3) fires through the damage of power or gas lines
4) Soil liquefaction - causes buildings to lean and become unstable
5) Tsunami - in the same area or other areas
6) Floods
7) Tidal forces
8) Human impacts such as the spread of disease, death, lack of basic necessities such as water, property and road damage...

No, earthquakes are caused by the shifting of tectonic plates beneath the Earth's surface. They are not directly related to violent storms, which are caused by atmospheric conditions.
No, some earthquakes are caused by elephants. *Laughs* Being serious, Earthquakes are caused by built up energy under the earth. The energy is usually released along the fault lines, but can sometimes be felt away from those fault lines.

No, earthquakes cannot be caused by the wind at all. Earthquakes are caused by tectonic plate boundaries, where the moving plates generate pressure. The pressure is released as an earthquake. Occasionally earthquakes may be caused by volcanoes, but this is simply another effect of moving tectonic plates. So the wind has no influence whatsoever on earthquakes or seismic activity.
Earthquakes in Japan are caused by the movement of tectonic plates. A tsunami is a large ocean wave that is caused by sudden motion on the ocean floor which can be triggered by earthquakes.
No, fault lines cause earthquakes
Larger earthquakes causes contamination when damage to infrastructure happens, causing disease and other problems down the line.
Earths Major Earthquakes are caused by faulting of rock in earth's crust.Hope this helps
No, most earthquakes are caused by the sudden release of energy along faults in the Earth's crust, not by folding. Folding is a slow process of deformation in the Earth's crust, while earthquakes are the result of rapid movement along faults.
