Explanation:
1.The large-scale casualties during natural disasters are caused by the improper management of the early warning systems of disaster management team. EXPLANATION: The fall in public response to such alerts released by the disaster warning system also cause large scale casualties.

4.The surface where they slip is called the fault or fault plane. The location below the earth's surface where the earthquake starts is called the hypocenter, and the location directly above it on the surface of the earth is called the epicenter. Sometimes an earthquake has foreshocks.
5.Mexico. Mexico is another earthquake prone country, which has faced several earthquakes of high magnitudes in the past . The country falls in one of the most seismically active area on the surface of the earth. It is situated atop three seismic plates namely, Cocos plate, Pacific plate and the North American plate.
6.It is the depth from the Earth's surface to the region where an earthquake's energy originates (the hypocenter or focus). The foci of most earthquakes are concentrated in the crust and upper mantle up to a depth of 700km.
7.The ground shaking may also cause landslides, mudslides, and avalanches on steeper hills or mountains, all of which can damage buildings and hurt people. The second main earthquake hazard is ground displacement (ground movement) along a fault.
8.Earthquakes are usually caused when rock underground suddenly breaks along a fault. This sudden release of energy causes the seismic waves that make the ground shake. When two blocks of rock or two plates are rubbing against each other, they stick a little. ... When the rocks break, the earthquake occurs.
