# data[].attributes.body
people who live near the focus of earthquakes experience stronger vibrations and that vibration may cause their homes to shake and collapse. the government would then have to spend money to reconstruct their homes.

Seismic waves are released by an earthquake in a form of vibrations. This causes a tsunami to form from a offshore earthquake .

# data[].attributes.body
One impact of earthquakes is the lost of lives , which is an social impact .

# data[].attributes.body
A tsunami is formed when seismic energy from an offshore earthquake forces out a mass of sea water. Tsunami waves may start at a height of less than 1m with wavelengths of 100-150 km at speeds of 800km/h. When the waves reach the shore , greater friction slows the waves down and forces them to increase in height. at the point of impact on the coast , the tsunami waves could be traveling at a extremely fast speed of 30-50 km/h and could reach heights of around 15m. This causes it to be extremely hard to escape an tsunami , if people do not evacuate fast enough they will get engulfed by the water and possibly drown leading to loss of lives.

When there are vibrations, this can cause buildings to shake and collapse. This may therefore lead to those in the building and possibly those around them to die due to the falling rocks from the structure.

seismic waves are released and are felt in the form of vibrations, causing ground to shake

# data[].attributes.body
one impact of earthquakes is destruction of infrastructure, an economic impact.

# data[].attributes.body
when vibrations are felt and causes ground to shake, buildings and roads collapse and get damaged. when this happens, it affects the economy as it causes high cost for repair of these buildings.

One impact of earthquakes is homelessness which is an economic impact

# data[].attributes.body
Earthquakes causes buildings and properties to collapse . This results in homelessness as people may be without homes after the disaster . It is an economic impact as money is needed to repair and rebuild these homes . The government will also need to use money to build temporary shelters for the people who’s houses are being repaired

# data[].attributes.body
In 2011 , an earthquake in tohoku japan caused a tsunami which travelled up to 10 kilometres in land . Extensive structural damage resulted in hundreds of thousands of people being forced out of their homes leaving them homeless .

in may 2008,  the sichuan earthquake caused whole villages and towns in the mountains destroyed, and many schools collapsed. The cost of reconstruction is estimated to be $150 billion.

One impact of earthquake is disruption to services.

# data[].attributes.body
Due to the seismic waves, an earthquake can disrupt services such as the supply of electricity ,gas and water and potentially affect a large area.Vibration on the grounds can snap pipe and break cable which may cause outbreak of fires.Communication services such as television broadcast and telephone connections may also be affected.

One impact of earthquake is landslides which is a social impact.

# data[].attributes.body
The shaking of the ground during earthquakes can weaken the slopes of hills and mountains. The unstable slopes can result in landslides which are rapid downslope movements of soil, rock and vegetation debris from a slope that can cause people to die.

# data[].attributes.body
The 12 May 2008 earthquake in China triggered more than 15,000 ground movements, which alone claimed the lives of nearly 20,000 people, or nearly a third of the victims associated with the earthquake.

Earthquake are caused by the seismic energy which is felt in the form of vibrations causing the ground to shake.

# data[].attributes.body
a tsunami refers to an unusually large sea wave. tsunamis may be formed by the movement of the sea floor during a large earthquake at subduction zones or a landslide above sea level which causes materials to fall into the water. these landslides can be caused by earthquakes. the formation of tsunami waves starts when seismic energy from an offshore earthquake forces out a mass of sea water. tsunami waves may start at a height of less than 1m with wavelengths of 100-150 km at speeds of 800km/h. when the waves reach the shore , greater friction slows the waves down and forces them to increase in height. at the point of impact on the coast , the tsunami waves could be traveling at 30-50 km/h and may reach heights of around 15m.

One impact of earthquakes is the destruction of properties

# data[].attributes.body
This vibrations causes the ground to shake and thus leading buildings and houses to collapse. This destruction of properties will cause problems to the economy as they will have to spend large amount of money to rebuild those houses and buildings that had been destroyed by the earthquake.

In March 2011, Tohoku, Japan lost 155,000 homes and crippled nuclear power plants due to the 9 magnitude earthquake. This caused its economy to lose around US$300 because of the damage caused by the earthquake.

the earthquake in Haiti hit a magnitude of 7.0 and left 1.3 million people homeless

The seismic waves which are released by earthquakes, are felt in the form of vibrations, and will cause the surface to shake.

# data[].attributes.body
one impact of earthquakes is destruction of infrastructure.

# data[].attributes.body
This causes cracks to be formed in the infrastructure, known as roads and bridges. This leads to the bridges and roads collapsing. Hence, transportation will be disrupted as it is unsafe to use the damaged roads.

# data[].attributes.body
For example, after the earthquake in Kobe Japan, 1995, the total cost of repair was US$300 billion, as many places in the city became inaccessible or difficult to reach.

one impact of earthquakes is the loss of lives. Which is a social impact.

# data[].attributes.body
the seismic waves released by earthquakes are felt through the form of vibration and cause the ground to shake.

# data[].attributes.body
when the ground moves beneath a building, it displaces the foundation and lower levels, sending shock waves through the rest of the structure and causing it to vibrate back and forth. eventually, the building would collapse and cause the loss of lives to those near or in the collapsed building

# data[].attributes.body
For example, On May 12, 2008, a magnitude-8.0 earthquake struck beneath a mountainous region in south-central China, toppling buildings , resulting in nearly 70,000 deaths.
