Text and Images from Slide
- Earthquakes cause damage by fault rupture, ground shaking, landslides, and tsunami.
- Seismic surface waves cause ground shaking. The amplitude of the waves and hence the damage resulting varies with earthquake intensity and the nature of the geologic material the waves traverse.
- Earthquake rupture of the seafloor generates tsunami that cause destruction both close to the epicenter and as far as thousands of kilometers away.
- Predictions for specific earthquakes are still not possible, but risk maps identify hazards for consideration in land-use planning, building codes, and engineering designs that diminish the destructive effects of earthquakes.
