Respuesta :
Earthquakes may lead to
a) damage to buildings / houses
b) Tsunami
c) Damage to electricity supply
d) Life threatening Harm to animals
e) Life threatening harm to humans
Four dangers that are associated with earthquakes are tsunamis, landslides, soil liquefaction, and flood.
Further explanations:
Earthquake is defined as the sudden shivering of the Earth’s surface due to the release of energy from inside the Earth. The energy is released in the form of seismic waves which can range to such a large extent that it can toss people here and there and can even ruin a whole city.
Elastic rebound theory explains the process of discharge of energy during an earthquake. During the distortion of the Earth's Crust, the alternate sides of the Earth's crust suffer a shear stress and it continues until the internal rigidity exceeds. The fault separates along a rapture calls fault line and the sudden movement releases a mass-energy that divides the plates into two halves. The energy discharged during this process is known as Seismic Wave.
If the epicenter of the earthquake lies in the sea bed then it is sufficient to create Tsunami waves and can even lead to a volcanic eruption from inside the sea. In terrestrial area is more hazardous as it creates landslides, liquefaction, and devastating floods.
