Show transcript
Primary effects happen directly as a result of an earthquake, for example broken gas pipes.
Secondary effects happen as a result of an earthquake's primary effects, for example a fire.
Earthquake severity depends on the magnitude, focus depth, epicentre location, aftershocks, preparations and response.
Some of the deadliest and costliest earthquake events have occurred in high income countries.
