what are the hazards associated with earthquakes?
Ground Shaking
Destroys properties and infrastructure (human systems)
weakens buildings, bridges, roads and railways, causing them to collapse, making it difficult to rescue people or supply emergency aid
Disrupts services (human systems)
Snaps water and gas pipes, resulting in water shortages and disruptions to gas supply
Destroys Ecosystem (Natural systems)
Ruptures oil and chemical factories, polluting land and water
Causes injuries and fatalities (human systems)
people may get trapped under collapsed buildings and infrastructure, resulting in loss of lives & injuries
Soil liquefaction
Destroys properties and infrastructure (human systems)
buildings and other infrastructure can sink in and tip over, and the damage makes it difficult to rescue people or supply emergency aid
Disrupts services (human systems)
Electricity and communication cables, and water and gas pipes can sink in and snap, disrupting supply of these services.
Causes injuries and fatalities (human systems)
People can get trapped under collapsed buildings and infrastructure, resulting in injuries and loss of lives.
Destroys ecosystems (natural systems)
Liquefied soil may enter rivers and smother aquatic plants, causing them to die.
landslides
Destroys properties and infrastructure (human systems)
Debris can bury villages and farms, destroying properties and infrastructure
Disrupts services (human systems)
Debris can snap electricity and communication cables, and water and gas pipes, disrupting supply of these services
Destroys ecosystems (natural systems)
Rivers can be polluted with debris, killing aquatic life.
Causes injuries and fatalities (human systems)
Debris can bury people or hit them, causing injuries and loss of lives.
tsunamis
Destroys properties and infrastructure (human systems)
Fast moving waters and the large amounts of debris carried in by the waves can sweep away buildings and infrastructure, destroying them
Disrupts services (human services)
Fast moving water can sweep away roads and railways, making it difficult to rescue people or supply emergency aid
destroys ecosystem (natural systems)
the seawater can flood huge areas of coastal wetlands and forests, damaging habitats
Causes injuries and fatalities (human services)
Large amounts of debris carried in by the waves can hit and kill people.
