Earthquakes tend to have a great impact on LEDCs than MEDCs. For example buildings in

LEDCS tend to cause more deaths and injuries from an earthquake than MEDCs

because some places do not have the equipment to repair and prepare for the damages going to be done

It is because they have different resources and preventive measures. Their buildings' cost and importance financially are also different. MEDC have money to invest in an effective warning system and buildings infrastructures. They also have money on educating the public on hazards with regular drills. After the hazard, they have better equipped rescue teams

LEDS are less well equipped to handle disasters like earthquakes as they have less access to money and infrastructure that could successfully negate the effects of earth quakes.  You can see this in the Sichuan and Tohoku earthquakes as the MEDC handled their higher magnitude earthquake with less causalities than the Sichuan earthquake

LEDCs are not always ready and are not always well equips for dangerous hazard. this is because they lack the funding and the money to recover and many people live in very basic homes. an earthquake like an magnitude 7 would be potentially life threatening to many people living in LECDs.

LEDC is a less economically developed country where MEDC is a more economically developed country. Some countries like China have not experienced earthquakes a lot which means they don't have the facilities or plan to solve it and help people recover.

LEDCs are less developed than MEDCs, so they do not have as many resources to protect themselves from hazards like earthquakes. This is why the social impacts were greater in the Sichuan Earthquake - 2008(China is an LEDC) than in the Tohoku Earthquake - March 2011 (Japan is an MEDC).

# data[].attributes.body
LEDC's are more badly affected death wise, because they usually do not have the infrastructure required to deal with supplying victims of the earthquake with medical and other goods, and buildings would not be as strong or well prepared for such an event, whereas in a MEDC they would usually have more well reinforced and safer buildings, as well as stronger infrastructure.

# data[].attributes.body
LEDCs are more likely to have worse damage as they aren't as developed. this occurred in the Sichuan earthquake  because they do not have the same infrastructure as some of the other MEDCs like japan.

# data[].attributes.body
The impacts of an earthquake differ in LEDCs and MEDCs because the population density is different. For example, LEDCs have a smaller population compared to MEDCs. This could mean that the number of causalities are lower in LEDCs compared to MEDCs. However, that is not always the case. In the Sichuan (LEDC) earthquake in 2008, the death toll was higher than the Tohoku (MEDC) in 2011. This is because of the lack of technology and communication in the LEDC compared to the MEDC. Because of the less-developed technology, rescue teams were not able to arrive quickly and save lives.

# data[].attributes.body
LEDCs have less infrastructure which is more vulnerable to earthquakes so there are more damages, and there are more deaths and injuries in LEDCs because rescue teams are less effective.

In an MEDC, the biggest effect of an earthquake will be the economic impact from destroyed infrastructure. In an LEDC, the biggest effects will be the social impacts because many people will die, be injured, or become homeless due to the poorly constructed buildings.

# data[].attributes.body
LEDCs like sichuan, don't have the resources and money to withstand and prepare for an earthquake. So houses are built poorly, therefor collapse easily. MEDCs like japan have the money and resources to prepare for an earthquake.

# data[].attributes.body
MEDCs have more stable buildings to prevent them from crumbling, saving many people. Some MEDCs like Japan have earthquake proof houses to reduce the damage. Buildings and houses in LEDCs would more likely be destroyed by an earthquake as they are poorly built.

# data[].attributes.body
LEDCs are not as well equipped to withstand hazards. Since they are poorer, the economic damage wouldn't be as much as MEDCs. The social impacts would be much more severe as they are less capable of responding to the hazard and have worse infrastructure.

MEDCs are usually well prepared to withstand hazards. Since they are richer, there would be more economic damage simply because there is more to break and disrupt. The social impacts would be less than LEDCs becase they have better infrastructures, organisation, and funds in the case of a destructive hazard.
