GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Go to an open area away from trees, telephone poles, and buildings. Once in the open, get down low and stay there until the shaking stops. The area near the outside walls of a building is the most dangerous place to be. Windows, facades, and architectural details are often the first parts of the building to collapse.

Detailed explanation-2: -Ground shaking is the primary cause of earthquake damage to man-made structures. Many factors influence the strength of earthquake shaking at a site including the earthquake’s magnitude, the site’s proximity to the fault, the local geology, and the soil type.

Detailed explanation-3: -They can cause the death of marine animals and disrupt the ecosystem. The effects of earthquakes on marine life vary depending on the type and magnitude of the earthquake. For example, if an earthquake is large enough, it can cause tsunamis that will destroy coastal areas and kill marine animals in its path.

Detailed explanation-4: -Doorways. Doors may slam shut and cause injuries. Windows, bookcases, tall furniture and light fixtures. You could be hurt by shattered glass or heavy objects. Elevators. Downed power lines-stay at least 10 metres away to avoid injury. Coastline.
