Answer:

  • Earthquakes move the ground side to side and up and down—simultaneously. The force behind this movement is powerful enough to turn soft soil instantly into quicksand, eliminating its ability to bear weight.
  • Most of the buildings are not safe enough to resist the vibrations of the earthquakes due to shallow foundation and lack of adequate steel in the interior design.
