Things falling on people.
Plate tectonics
Earthquakes have caused more deaths than hurricanes, and hurricanes have caused more deaths than lightning.
Buildings, infrastructure, and people are most impacted by earthquakes. Buildings may collapse or suffer structural damage, resulting in potential injuries or fatalities. Infrastructure such as roads, bridges, and utilities may also be damaged, leading to disruptions in services and transportation.
Earthquakes and volcanoes frequently occur where edges of the earths plates are colliding and or moving away from another.
Earthquakes happen most along tectonic plate boundaries, such as the Pacific Ring of Fire. This is because the movement of tectonic plates causes stress to build up until it is released in the form of an earthquake. Areas where two plates meet, such as subduction zones or transform faults, are especially prone to earthquakes.
Aftershocks cause the most earthquake-related deaths and injuries.
Most earthquake-related injuries and deaths result from collapsing walls, flying glass, and falling objects caused by the ground shaking.
Building Collapse and falling objects
Most deaths and injuries in a tornado are the result of flying debris.
The most common causes of injuries during an earthquake are falling debris, buildings collapsing, and people being struck by objects. Other sources of injuries can include broken glass, furniture toppling over, and tripping or falling while trying to evacuate.
Earthquakes that causes most damage when two plates crashed and one plate moves upwards vertically than the other plate.
