Most earthquakes are not even noticed by the general public, since they happen
7、 either under the ocean or in unpopulated areas. Sometimes an earthquake under the ocean can be so severe, it will cause a tsunami, responsible for far greater damage.
The greatest danger of an earthquake comes from falling buildings and structures and flying glass, stones and other objects.
