Volcanic eruptions 2. Movement of tectonic plates 3. Isostatic adjustment 4. Construction of dams and blasts 5. Folding and faulting
Effects of Earthquakes Destructive effects of earthquakes include landslides, tsunamis, fires, and fault rupture. The aggressive shaking of the ground and sea leads to catastrophic destruction of manmade properties and personal injuries.
Management Management 1. move out in open 2. Keep clam and keep away from windows, mirrors. 3. Buildings should be constructed according to NBC of india 4. Stand under strong beams 5.
