There is no direct causal connection between having an earthquake and the start of a fire. However, the earthquake might destroy things (electricity cables, buildings, etc.) which when destroyed can cause fire. For example, an oil leak could be caused by the earthquake and with a spark of an electricity cable this could cause a fire. Hope this answers your question.

What would be the least likely result of a earthquake a fire or a thunderstorm?
A thunderstorm would never result from an earthquake. Earthquakes can cause fires by breaking gas lines and electrical wires, but there is no mechanism by which an earthquake could cause a thunderstorm.
How does a rubber suffer the most severe damage from an earthquake?
Rubber materials can suffer severe damage during an earthquake due to the shaking motion. The repeated stretching and compression that occurs during the shaking can cause the rubber to degrade and fail, resulting in cracks and fractures. Additionally, exposure to high temperatures and fire during an earthquake can further damage rubber materials.
What causes walls and buildings to crumble during an earthquake?
During an earthquake, the shaking from the ground can cause the foundation of walls and buildings to become unstable. This can lead to cracks forming in the structure, weakening its overall integrity. Additionally, the force of the earthquake may cause parts of the walls or building to collapse due to the inability of the structure to withstand the movement.
Which oil refinery caught fire in Japan during the earthquake and tsunami?
The fire occurred at the Cosmo Oil refinery in Chiba, after the earthquake and tsunami in 2011. The disaster severely damaged the refinery, leading to explosions and fires that burned for days.
What doesn't cause an earthquake?
Drinking a chocolate banana milkshake does not cause an earthquake.
Why is fire damage a large concern during an earthquake?
Fire damage to a structure weakens the stability of the structure. Structures with fire damage are a concern during an earthquake due to their stability and the high chances of them collapsing.
Can shaking during an earthquake cause significant damage to buildings and infrastructure?
Yes, shaking during an earthquake can cause significant damage to buildings and infrastructure.
Does deformation cause the ground to shake during an earthquake?
Yers.
What would be the least likely result of a earthquake a fire or a thunderstorm?
A thunderstorm would never result from an earthquake. Earthquakes can cause fires by breaking gas lines and electrical wires, but there is no mechanism by which an earthquake could cause a thunderstorm.
Which seismic waves cause most of damage during an earthquake?
The L- Wave or the Love and Rayleigh waves (collectively known as surface waves) cause most of the damage during an earthquake.
Which seismic wave cause most of the damage during an earthquake?
The L- Wave or the Love and Rayleigh waves (collectively known as surface waves) cause most of the damage during an earthquake.
Not set in motion from ring of fire for example volcano and earthquake - volcano and earthquake are sub-cause by ring of fire and what causes ring of fire?
Nothing causes the ring of fire it is just a nick name for the area because volcano's and earthquakes have magma and lava involved.
How does a rubber suffer the most severe damage from an earthquake?

The repeated stretching and compression that occurs during the shaking can cause the rubber to degrade and fail, resulting in cracks and fractures. Additionally, exposure to high temperatures and fire during an earthquake can further damage rubber materials.
Which wave cause the most movement of the rocks during an earthquake?
S waves
Is fire a major problem after earthquake?
Yes, fire can be a major problem after an earthquake due to gas leaks, damaged electrical systems, and overturned flammable materials. It can spread quickly and be difficult to contain, adding to the overall devastation caused by the earthquake.
What causes walls and buildings to crumble during an earthquake?

What are specific actions that take place during a earthquake?
during an earthquake the plates under us release which forms an earthquake which brings great damage. buildings might fall, fire, e.t.c. some earthquakes are really weak to even notice them. :)
