How does depth of focus affect the different affects and responsible | The shallower the focus the more energy to cause damage |
How does population density affect different effects and responses | The more people the more potential risk of injuries and fatalities |
How does building density affect the effects and responses | The more buildings the greater the likelihood some will collapse |
Tell me some other factors that can affect different effects and responses | The plate margins - some are more destructive The closer to the epicentre the greater the magnitude will be The more training so the public and emergency services know what to do reduces casualties The type of event eg tsunamis or avalanches in secondary effects can cause further devastation |
