Hazards of a earthquake

• The primary hazards of an earthquake are crustral fracturing and groundshaking
• The secondary hazards include liquifraction, landslides and tsunamis
• The process of liquid fraction is when Earthquakes compact looser, sediment of sand and gravel that.
• Most tsunamis are generated by submarine Earthquakes at subduction zones.
• Tsunami's

  The seabed is displaced vertically up or down. The motion displaces a large volume of water in the ocean column where which then moves outwards from the point of displacement.
• Characteristics of a tsunami

  • Long wavelength at sea.
  • Short amplitude at sea
