Lesson details

Lesson outcome

I can categorise primary and secondary effects of earthquakes and explain why some earthquakes are more deadly than others.

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.
