earthquake hazards on natural and human systems
ground shaking
natural system
destroys ecosystems
ruptures oil and chemical factories
pollutes land and water
fractures and uproot trees
widespread tree injury and death and damaging wildlife
habitats
human system
destroys properties and infrastructure
weakens buildings, bridges, roads and railways
collapse and making it difficult to rescue people/supply
emergency aid
disrupts services
snaps water and gas pipes
results water shortages and disruptions to gas supply
electricity and communication cables break
affects important communication services of tsunami
warnings/television broadcasts
causes injuries and fatalities
people may be trapped under collapsed buildings and infrastructures
results loss of lives and injuries
soil liquefaction
natural system
destroys ecosystems
trees on liquefied soil sink in and tip over so damaging wildlife habitats
causes forst and biodiversity loss
liquefied soil may enter rivers and smother aquatic plants
causes death
broken sewage pipes and untreated waste material
results killing aquatic species
human system
destroys properties and infrastructure
buildings and other infrastructure sinking in and tipping over that causes damage
makes rescuing/supplying emergency aid difficult
disrupts services
electricity and communication cables, water and gas pipes sinking in before snapping
disrupts supply of these service
roads and railways above liquefied soil sinking in and being damaged
makes it difficult for rescuing/suppling of emergency aid
causes injuries and fatalities
people getting trapped under collapsed buildings and infrastructures
results loss of lives and injuries
landslides
natural system
destroys ecosystems
fast-moving debris
bury huge areas of forest and wetlands
blocked rivers causing flood
damages nearby ecosystems and properties
human system
destroys properties and infrastructure
debris
bury villages and farms
destroys properties and infrastructures
disrupts services
debris snaps electricity and communication cables, water and gas pipes
disrupts supply of these services
roads and railways blocked by debris
makes it difficult to rescue people/supply emergency aid
causes injuries and fatalities
debris bury people/hit them
causes loss of lives and injuries
debris blocking rivers
results flood that can drown people
tsunami
natural system
destroys ecosystems
seawater floods huge areas of coastal wetlands and forest
damages habitats
large amount of debris carried in by waves pollutes these areas
damages ecosystems
kills wildlife
human system
disrupts services
fast moving waters and large amounts of debris carried in by waves snap electricity and communication cables
disrupts supply of these services
fast moving water sweep away roads and railways
making it difficult to rescue people/supply emergency aids
destroys properties and infrastructure
fast moving waters and large amount of debris carried in by waves sweep away buildings and infrastructure
destroys them
causes injuries and fatalities
sweeping waters drown people
large amount of debris carried in by waves hit and kill people
