Question

How can earthquakes be more destructive than tsunamis

Answer 1

Buildings can be destroyed by earthquakes or knocked down, trapping people underneath.

Only regions close to the water are susceptible to tsunamis, but anybody may be affected anywhere by earthquakes. Buildings can be destroyed by earthquakes or knocked down, trapping people underneath. Uneven surfaces and damaged roadways can result from the shifting and cracking of the Earth during earthquakes. When two chunks of the ground abruptly slide past one another, an earthquake results. The fault or fault plane is the area where they slide. Sudden movement along Earth's fault lines causes earthquakes. The motion releases "elastic strain" energy that has been accumulated in the form of seismic waves, which travel through the Earth and cause the earth to tremble.
