Earthquakes are one of the most dangerous natural disasters that occur on Earth. This is because the shaking of the ground can strike with little to no warning, and sometimes the ferocious ground shaking can even be felt hundreds of miles away.
Have you ever thrown a rock into a pond and watched the ripples travel outward? Anything that is in the path of those ripples gets disturbed, like bugs lounging on the surface and plants poking their heads out from under the water. Even the shoreline gets disturbed once the ripples make their way to the edge of the pond.
Earthquakes have a similar affect on objects above Earth's surface. Anything that is near where an earthquake occurs is likely to be affected. Some of the effects are immediately seen, while some are more long-term.
