It can change seismic waves into dangerous earthquakes

Detailed explanation-1: -Seismic waves travel more quickly through denser materials and therefore generally travel more quickly with depth. Anomalously hot areas slow down seismic waves. Seismic waves move more slowly through a liquid than a solid.
Detailed explanation-2: -Since density * increases with depth, waves speed up as they move deeper into the Earth. The change in density also causes the waves to follow curved paths as they move through the Earth. As waves travel into more dense material, they speed up and curve.
Detailed explanation-3: -Complete answer: Seismic waves have a specific frequency in which they travel. When the seismic wave’s frequency approximates or is similar to the building’s natural frequency, resonance takes place and the buildings get affected. Therefore, the energy gets transmitted to the building at tremendous efficiencies.
Detailed explanation-4: -Tectonic processes and flow in Earth’s interior drive deformation of Earth’s surface that can lead to destructive earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions. Climatic processes affect the dynamics of Earth’s ice sheets and glaciers, and along with local tectonic processes, modulate changes in average sea level.
