Damage/impacts:

- Caused the deaths of roughly 500 people

- Tsunami went through the city, causing considerable damage to architecture and buildings

- Brick buildings collapsed from the strain of the wave

- Wooden buildings caught fire and burned for hours

- Fires caused the most deaths, more so than the tidal wave

- 20 houseboats destroyed

- No deaths

- Minor liquefaction along the fault line

- Minor damage to the Trans-Alaska pipeline system but because

the pipeline is along the fault line it had been made stronger

so that it wouldn't be damaged.

~ first government sponsored scientific investigation

~ scientists explored theories and made measurements and observations

~ identified locations of faults and earthquake zones

~ significant changes in building codes to reduce impacts of future events

~ discovery that earthquakes are caused by faults and movement of the Earth's crust, not the other way around

~ basic understanding of earthquakes

Impacts:

- Even though San Francisco experienced a terrible Earthquake, the fires that raged on afterwards caused just as much, maybe even more, damage

- These fires resulted in 500 deaths

- The money needed to fix the damage was roughly eight billion dollars in today's money

- Half of the citizens became homeless and there became a high demand for housing

- The earthquake itself had a modern magnitude of 7.8 which meant that there was a lot of destruction including the destruction of housing, sewers and water mains and street car tracks
