How is the distance from the epicenter related to the amount of earthquake damage?
The more energy, the more damage it can cause.
What caused more damage the tsunami or the earthquake in Japan?
The earthquake in Japan caused more damage overall than the tsunami. The powerful earthquake triggered the tsunami and also led to widespread destruction of buildings, infrastructure, and loss of lives. The tsunami primarily affected coastal areas with devastating flooding and destruction.
Which causes more damage a shallow focus or deep focus?
Typically, a shallow focus earthquake will cause more damage than a deep focus earthquake. Shallow focus implies the source of the earthquake is near to the surface, so the waves will lose lesser energy than the deep focus earthquake waves while travelling through the Earth. But it depends on other factors too such as local stratigraphy, and subsurface conditions.
When an earthquake occurs where would be damage more?
If the earthquake occurs on land - the highest damage occurs at the epicentre (the point at which the quake starts). If the quake begins at sea - most damage is caused at coastal regions from tidal waves.
How can a certain area suffer more damage in earthquake?
A certain area might suffer more damage in earthquakes. It is because that area might be near the epicenter.
What type of earthquake causes the most human injury and damage?
earthquakes that produce more horizontal
What is the type of earthquake that does damage to roads and buildings?
The type of earthquake that causes damage to roads and buildings is typically a strong or major earthquake. These earthquakes have higher magnitudes and release more energy, leading to more intense shaking that can result in structural damage to infrastructure like roads and buildings.
Which causes more damage a major earthquake or a major eruption?
The Earthquake in Kobe did as much damage as 200 Billion dollars in US money(160 Million Yen). The Kilauea's Damage cost was abot 230 Billion dollars.
How is 1.9 earthquake different from a 8.5 earthquake?
An 8.5 Earthquake is MUCH larger and does more damage.
How is the magnitude of an earthquake related to its destructive effects?
Broadly speaking, the amount of damage an earthquake causes will increase as it's magnitude increases. For more information on this topic, please see the related questions.
How is the distance from the epicenter related to the amount of earthquake damage?
The more energy, the more damage it can cause.
What causes more damage a 7.2 earthquake or a 8.9?
the biggest 1 will but it depends on the depth of the quakes It also depends on how near the epicenter is to an urban area.
Would a large earthquake cause more damage than a small earthquake?
yes
What is more destructive a big earthquake or many small earthquakes?
It depends on how big the earthquake is. A big earthquake will cause more damage to the area.
What is the difference between the damage of tornado and an earthquake?
Tornado damage is caused by wind and debris, with the first visible damage usually occurring to the roof, windows, and exterior walls. Earthquake damage is caused by shaking and distortion of the ground. Structures destroyed by earthquakes usually collapses where they stand while those destroyed by tornadoes are often at least partially blown away.
What causes a canyon to become more deeper?
earthquake
Why is an earthquake a destructive force?
Becuase it cause more damage
