Question

the strongest earthquakes do not always cause the greatest loss of life. Give two reasons
for this

Answer 1

Answer:

The largest earthquakes are not always the most disastrous. For example you can have a large earthquake of a magnitude 9.0 with little damage because it is located in a remote area. But a 6.0 can cause death to thousands of lives if it occurs in an area with poor construction and high concentration of people.
