Earthquake C would cause more damage to the house because the effects of an earthquake depend on the distance from the epicenter, with closer earthquakes causing stronger shaking. Earthquake C, being closer to the location of the house, would result in more intense ground shaking and therefore more damage than Earthquake D, which is farther away.

EFFECTS OF EQ *copy things in black 32L s
Effects of an earthquake You have a house in southern California. Earthquake D and Earthquake C happen at the same time. Which EQ causes more damage to your house?
Effects of an earthquake Effects of an earthquake depend on? VS
Effects of an earthquake Effects of an EQ depend on: Distance from epicenter (closer=stronger)
Effects of an earthquake Effects of an earthquake depend on: Magnitude of EQ measured by 10-point Richter Scale (higher the number, more energy) 7.5 3.4 stronger weaker
Effects of an earthquake Effects of an earthquake depend on: Construction material (brittle bricks and clay damaged more than flexible wood)
Effects of an earthquake Effects of an earthquake depend on: Type of ground/foundation (loose soil shakes more than hard material)
Effects of an earthquake Effects of an earthquake depend on: Height of building (taller=more damage vs one-story building)
