triggered by an earthquake

ii. Minor damages to
buildings or worse,
collapse of structure
2. Ground rupture
a. Displacement on the ground due to
movement of fault.
b. Experienced by areas where fault
passes through (not all cracks on
the ground are faults, some may
just be a superficial cracks due to
ground failure).
c. The movement may have vertical
and horizontal component and may
be as small as less than 0.5 meters
to as big as 6 meters.
3. Tsunami
a. Sea waves resulting from the
disturbance of ocean floor by an
earthquake
b. Series of giant sea waves
commonly generated by underthe-
