How is the damage form an earthequake different from that of a tornado?
First, how they cause damage is different. Tornadoes cause damage with extreme winds and flying debris. Earthquakes cause damage by shaking buildings and deforming the ground beneath them. Weaker tornadoes cause damage almost exclusively to the outside of a building. Siding and roof material can be stripped away, gutters and awnings taken down, and windows broken. Stronger tornadoes can tear away roofs and walls and scatter some of the debris downwind. When houses are leveled by very strong tornadoes even greater amounts of debris are scattered. The very strongest of tornadoes blow houses away, leaving behind a bare foundation. In a sense tornadoes destroy buildings from the top down and from the outside in. Minor earthquakes can crack walls and cause loose objects to fall. Stronger earthquakes can lead to the partial collapse of many buildings. Very strong earthquakes will level most buildings, but the debris mostly stays on the foundation. Since earthquakes originate underground they easily cause damage to a building's foundation. Damage to the foundation is rare in tornadoes.
