There are several ways. P-waves, which arrive first, generally produce a vertical vibration. These shake structures and can cause damage, but tent to be less damaging than the other main variety because they are less intense, ane buildings are designed to handle the vertical stress of their own wieght anyway.
The worst damage is generally caused by the more intense S-waves, which arrive second. These waves produce a side-to-side movement, which can cause many buildings to collapse, as they are not built to withstand shear stress.
Earthquakes can also cause the ground to shift, break, and deform, causing foundations to fail. In some cases, the soil of an area may act as a liquid.
Earthquakes can cause damage by shaking the ground, which can collapse buildings, bridges, and other structures. The shaking can also trigger landslides, tsunamis, and ground failures. The extent of damage depends on the magnitude of the earthquake, the distance from the epicenter, and the construction practices in the affected area.

The more energy, the more damage it can cause.
None at all. A magnitude 0.7 earthquake would be an instrumental earthquake, meaning it can be picked up on seismometers, but otherwise is not noticeable.
The amount of damage caused by an earthquake fault does not depend on the type of fault (strike-slip, reverse, normal). The severity of damage is mainly influenced by factors such as the magnitude of the earthquake, the depth of the focus, the distance from populated areas, and the building codes in place.
Yes, earthquakes typically cause more severe damage near the epicenter because the energy released decreases as you move away from the epicenter. The intensity of shaking and resulting damage decreases with distance from the source.
The break is a fault in the rock that can lead to an earthquake, whose tremors can cause much damage to property and death.
Above 8-9 magnitude can cause severe earthquake....
Many do, yes. Some earthquakes cause abolsutely catestrophic damage.
Earthquakes can cause damage to life and property. Buildings and roads can collapse because of that.
They both can cause damage
loads.
yes
Becuase it cause more damage
It can cause major disruption.
The L- Wave or the Love and Rayleigh waves (collectively known as surface waves) cause most of the damage during an earthquake.
after shocks can be deadly - sometimes as bad as the earthquake itself!

The more energy, the more damage it can cause.
