Why do earthquakes often cause damaging fires?
tsunamis from earthquakes generate enough heat to start fires.
magma from deep underground escapes through faults.
seismic waves can break gas lines, water lines, and electrical lines.

tsunamis are long-wavelength, long-period sea waves produced by the sudden or abrupt movement of large volumes of water—including when an earthquake occurs at sea. most destructive tsunamis are caused by earthquakes of magnitude 7.5 or more.
